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!

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

Hello, I'd appreciate it if someone could check QF16 LAX-BNE on 15 Nov 2019 please.

I'm an SG booked on W and hoping to upgrade to J, but I also realise it's a Friday night flight.

Thanks in advance.

Looks good so far but really too far out to be meaningful


QF 117 SYD 10:20p → HKG 5:00a
J9 C9 D6 I1 U0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G9 X9 E8

Are you able to have another look for me if there is possiblity for my upgrade request to go through. QF117 11 October.
 
Could I be cheeky and ask for a hand from someone who currently has an active EF account?

Would you be able to check the Y class fare buckets for me VA1092 (Sydney - Launcestion) on 22/11 and then return VA1093 23/11.

Thank you!
 
Loads as per EF:
2 NOV 2019 QF1 SYD-SIN F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I0 W3 R0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 S9 N9 Q9 O9 X9 E1
2 NOV 2019 QF1 SIN-LHR F7 A7 J9 C4 D0 I0 W4 R3 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K5 M3 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 X0 E0

But these don't mean much on their own and I can't give you much more meaningful information unless I know what you are checking for.
The upgrade fairy suggests slight chance of upgrade to PE on both sectors, stiff competition for J SYD-SIN and a lot of disappointment likely SIN-LHR.
Good chance for F SYD-SIN but all chances taken for SIN-LHR.
But if you are already in the queue, it all depends on your status, the fare you have booked and paid for and the date when you requested the upgrade.
And of course there could be more bookings in the next two weeks - it's still a long way off!
 
Hi, would someone be able to check the loads for PER-MEL QF10 on 27/10/19 please? Looking for an upgrade to premium economy. Thank you!

Upgrade fairy says it looks very good both for PE and all the way to J.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this, but wondering if anyone could help me out. Just wondering if anyone could have a look at BNE-LAX Sat 26th October QF55 - looking for an upgrade from economy to PE or business. Thanks so much!
