Background to this thread
We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions about seat availability on specific flights. These are all valid questions and we all appreciate the efforts our members go to to provide answers.

The only drawback is that our forums can become "cluttered" with specific questions about availability on specific flights. This tends to reduce the overall usability of our site.
We have therefore created this new consolidated thread where you can ask questions about seat availability on specific flights. Hopefully, this will reduce clutter and improve useability.

Guidelines for posting in this thread
Please post questions about availability of specific flights or upgrade probability in this new consolidated thread. Be sure to include the airline, flight number, date, origin and destination and any other relevant detail.

When answering questions, please include the original question. This will assist in readability and management of the thread.

Thanks!

If looking for, say Qantas points upgrades, look for A class for First, mid to high D or any I class for Business and any R for Premium Economy.

Look for the most expensive category of the cabin YOU are currently booked in as being sold out e.g. J0 to first, W0 to Business & Y0 to PE for increased op-up chances. Also, look for availability on the discount premium buckets (A, P, I, D, U, T & Z inventories).

Conversely, look for high numbers in the discount economy buckets (N, O, Q, E & X inventories) for reduced op-up chances.

Seat maps can be a VERY rough guide but note that just because a seat is not showing as allocated does not mean that seat hasn't been sold. Not everyone pre-selects seats.

Hello, Can some one help me and let me know if i have a chance to J from Y. I have H class ticket
I have platinum status not sure how much difference it can make.
I have not selected PE upgrade option. Does this mean i will not get a chance to get upgraded at the airport if my upgrade req doesn't come through? is it worth while canceling and redoing it and select PE as well to improve my chance?

Look good on your return for now. I hope as WP on flex Y, you will have a very secured chance. if you redo your request, you will be befind other WPs on flex Y (not too important but probably not worth it IMO). Not selecting PE upgrade would not affect your chance of upgrade at the gate.

Hello.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.
But Would it be possible for someone to help me to see what the possibility of an upgrade on Monday 10th June on QF9 Melbourne to Heathrow from economy to either PE or Business. Had to book last minute as my friend is dying and need to get to Devon ASAP.
I am Platinum and my outbound is S class.
I’ve booked a full flex on the way back and it’s currently 17th June QF10 B class fare. But I don’t know when the funeral will be, so may change.
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot. I won’t bother changing it than. I hope I get it for both flights

How are things looking for QF93 departing June 23 and either QF94 or QF96 departing July 2? Hoping for a Y->J upgrade

Plans slightly changed as Mrs HockeyMonkey had to travel for business as well and we are aligning our return flight.

How do the following currently look
QF93 MEL - LAX departing June 23
QF94 LAX - MEL departing July 11

The latter is Flex Y, so pretty full I expect but fingers crossed.

Appreciate your help.
