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!

I'd appreciate some help understanding the information EF provides. For example, F6 A6 J9 C9 D9 I0 B9 H9 K9 M9 R9 L9 V9 S0 N0 Q0 O0 X0 E0 What letters do I look at to try to work out how many seats are still available in economy? What letters do I look at to try to work out how many...

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.

I just happened to recall a check-in agent once telling me 'it's always odd to leave Australia'...

Thanks for that.
Just tried to book 2x Y seats but they had none. Interesting it says 2!

Thanks for that.

EF is a service based in the US, and the default search has country for point of sale set as US. When the POS is changed to AU then the result is: Z8 C0 J0 U0 D0 Y0 B0 E0 M0 H0 W0 Q0 N0 V0 G0 K0

So Now Z8, and Y0 - whereas the earlier US POS gave Z9, Y2.

 

[Ansett]

Good morning can some one please check QF 158 AKL-MEL on 30/11/2022 looking at chances of upgrade from Full Y to J on points.

Many thanks

I know its a bit far out still but wondering what the chances are for QF11 on 9/1/23 SYD-LAX upgrade on points from economy to business. Don't like my chances as we changed the flight which was originally BNE-SFO. I think we are in K or M class as its part of a RTW ticket.

Thanks so much now all we need is QF to come to the party - appreciate the quick response

I think we are in K or M class as its part of a RTW ticket.

If you are referring to a RTW Oneworld Explorer, an economy fare books into L (business books into D; first into A). Hence LONEx, DONEx, AONEx where x = 3,4,5 or 6 continental zones.
