PLEASE INCLUDE DATE, FLIGHT NUMBER, ORIGIN & DESTINATION IN ALL REQUESTS
>>>> ADDED BY ADMIN (6 Sept 2010) <<<<



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!



For Questions about Aircraft Configuration and Seat Availability, please use this thread:​



See this thread for hints on how to read loadings:


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.

Original thread title: update on QF93 on 12 sept

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

Ok thanks very much... hope your right but can’t see anything on the app yet.
 
Whilst not definitive those seats are showing as occupied unfortunately so unless someone selected those 4 seats after they were released for your upgrade it would seem your upgrade has not (yet) gone through.

The flight is still showing 5 J seats for sale so hopefully they process the upgrade closer to departure.

Ok thanks so much for looking... there is still a slim chance!! I guess the points will disappear if it is successful
 
Requested Y to J on QF2 on 29/09. No SMS yet. Hopeful QF Gold here!
I don't know if the upgrade fairy was just annoyed because I woke her up to ask her about your flight but she didn't hold out much hope.
 
Ok, I give, is the upgrade fairy an inside source? If so, what are my chances of upgrade F from J 17/10 QF1 😉
First I have realised we are really using the wrong thread for this - this should be in the upgrade probabilities thread.
Perhaps a mod could move the offending posts, if they have time.
Second, never interrogate magic.
Third, a week is a long time in politics, and two weeks is an eternity for loads.
Finally, at this stage, the fairy likes your chances as far as Singapore but it's looking dicey after that.
It may depend on how many P1s have requested upgrades.
 
Yea :(

I don’t have much (read any) hope either. As this service is originating from LHR, I’m sure most, if not, all J seats are booked!

Update : Got a message from QF 8 hours prior departure that there were no seats in J available for upgrade. No seats in PE either. So stayed in Y, upper deck.

@esseeeayeenn : your upgrade fairy was accurate :)
