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

Thanks for that. At the moment, only Y award is availble on QF website, I thought the flight has been fully sold initially, but it seems not the case, hopefully QF will release J award seats in the near future on that day.
I didn't think QF released award seats close to the date.
Although WPs could request them to be released.
The flight is fairly lightly booked at the moment. Almost no one in the J cabin.
 
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.

Would a kind soul mind helping me check this again, please? It's now less than 4 days out so I've got my fingers crossed.
 
Would someone please be able to check a couple of flights for me please - booked from MEL-JFK transitting via LAX on 22/11/19

MEL-LAX QF 93
LAX-JFK QF 11

Currently in premium economy, trying to suss out the odds of an upgrade to J (am QF plat, put the upgrade request in ages ago). Thank you!

Thanks PJM much appreciated Looks like QF35 is full down the back with lost of availability in J hence they released a seat for me in J and same for QF24. Now what are the chances of upgrading to F on QF35 LOL

hi there, i'm thinking about requesting a points upgrade to J x 2 for this flight:

Sydney to Hong Kong
QF117 Depart Monday 30 December 2019 at 22:25 Arrive 05:00 (Tuesday)

not sure if its too early to tell (or too late to request), if someone could please check it out for me? thanks

Availability currently looks good but it is too far out to really say. No harm in putting an upgrade request in. You can always cancel the request

thanks so much, I'll be back closer to the date :)
 
I think the lesson from this is that booking in PE was an important factor in priority.
And the success of your NB friend suggests that this comes before status.


We both got upgraded on the way back as well. I think friend just ticked to Silver from flight over.
 
could someone kindly help with the loading of the following please

QF82 SIN to SYD on 6 Dec

current booking is in Y, hoping for upgrade to J. TIA.

could someone help with the updated loading of QF82 SIN to SYD on 6 Dec please?

TIA
 
thanks pjm99au. J8 = look ok as I am a QF WP? My connecting flight to SIN may be a problem though. it is jetstar with only 100 min gap. do QF take this into account when processing the request?
