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.

Seat map shows it pretty full in business and premium economy, and much of Y.

Would someone mind taking a look at QF44 DPS-SYD departing on April 7th? Interested in seeing what the upgrade chances are to J or PE.

Hi, Can someone please check my chance of an upgrade from J to F on QF11 17th March. I am platinum with Qantas. I can also see that my flight has gone from having 16 seats left in business last Monday to 32 seats left in business today. I guess a lot of people are cancelling their plans. I wonder if that means they may change the A380 to a smaller plane?

 

[pjm99au]

Wide open to the point where you could suspect it has been cancelled

QF 11

SYD 10:10a → LAX 6:00a F9 A9 P1 J9 C9 D9 I9 U3 W9 R9 T9 Z2 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V0 S0 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E9

Thank you pjm99au. It isn't telling me it has been cancelled when logging into my account. Is that a possibility? I have been looking forward to this flight for a while. (sad face here).

 

[pjm99au]

I suspect it is just very empty given all the travel bans etc

Yes, ok, thank you. When I look on expert flyer the plane in economy is now only about a quarter full. I assume a number of people have cancelled. At this stage we are still going.

 

[Tim G]

If someone could check QF10 - leaving today 19 March, at 11.55am LHR - PER for my chance of an upgrade to PE or Business. Assume slim to nil. Thanks!

J1, Y1 all the rest 0.

It's booked in the schedule, but their operating history shows the flight is cancelled almost every second day. It did operate last Thursday - but not Wednesday or Friday.

It's part of Air AsiaX who are known for sudden cancellations without warning so given it's not available on their own web site appears to be cancelled, but not entirely removed from some 3rd party records/services.

It turns out HK Express was just as good if not better than Air Asia.

Hi all - I'm hoping someone with an EF account can provide the seat map for QR137 (DOH-BCN) on 15.08.2021
I am trying to determine if this is a QSuites route

 

[defurax]

Here's the seat map as it stands 361 days before the flight...
