>>>> 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.

Hi friends, have had some trouble on the QF website tonight and would appreciate some confirmation on afternoon/evening departure QF MEL-PER and SYD-PER on 2 and 3 June, specifically (if that's easier) QF777, QF779, QF781, QF783, QF651, QF653, QF655.

I think this is what you were after. As I have said before, a glitch in EF means U does not show on Flight Availability. Have to search Awards & Upgrades.

Thanks John that's very helpful. As I feared, U is pretty slim. Any chance you could check MEL-PER on the 3rd as well? Some inconsistent results on the qf site make me swear i'm seeing married segment control in the results.

As an aside... I've found that by using the 'USA (Default)' point of sale in the search, that I do get the U fare bucket in my results for Flight Availability on QF. Change point of sale to Australia, and U will disappear. I only use the Awards & Upgrades special search for SQ flights, now.

Result here for your first above using USA point of sale:

Cheers,
Matt.
 
Thanks all. Based on the above, definitely noticing either married segments releasing otherwise not available seats, or phantom availability on QF's own metal last night. More research to be done to get this itinerary right.
 
Good morning everyone
Would anyone mind checking the loading of EK413 (9pm departure) from SYD to DXB on 6 May 2022 and EK87 (0840am departure) from DXB to ZRH on 7 May 2022? I am interested how full Economy is to see my chances whether I and my 3 year old may have a row for ourselves.
Thanks!

Good morning all
I am heading to BKK (first time in 3 years) and have of course requested an upgrade from Y to J.
Could the loads be checked for the below flight please?
QF23 - SYD to BKK - Friday 3 June 2022
I am SG so will be interesting on the day to see the chances of upgrade and how many WPs are travelling on this predominately holiday route.
Many thanks in advance!
