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.

When I look at the seat maps for CX907 on both days, not many allocated to pax. So is there a limit in # pax allowed from HKG by Philippines govt?

Can someone kindly help with flights from Melbourne to coughet departing 24th/12/2021 onwards and returning on the 8th or the 9th January?
I have been trying and don't have much luck with either Qantas and Virgin. With Singapore airline I don't have enough SQ miles for the return and can only do one way.
Mainly the return flight is what I am after as I can book the outgoing with Singapore.

Many Thanks

Can you suggest an airline? EF availability searches are carrier/alliance-specific. What fare bucket are you after?

Any airlines where I can use my Qantas points or Velocity, I have enough points on both for both business and economy, my searching skills aren't any good. I used to be able to check on British airways for reward seats and then book on Qantas but I can't find anything on BA anymore.
Thanks

Short answer is there's no award availability at those times.

Hi all, if anyone has a spare second could I please have flight loadings for:

23/12 QF1541 MEL-LST

Purpose: have a classic points upgrade request in for 2 pax from Y->J, just wondering the likelihood of it clearing the waitlist.

Thanks very much.
