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

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

It’s wide open at the moment! I’d say chances are as good as they get; best of luck!

Here you are - still a chance. Meanwhile, QF1 3hrs later is very busy, and nothing for sale below full Y.

It is a daily service but flights must be zeroed out. They are not for sale either. Weirds. Thanks for your help.
 
Hi all,

Any insights into what my chances are on QF11 (12/06) from SYD to LAX for an upgrade (from economy flex) would be amazing! I was hoping the Monday flight might have more luck than the weekend but really just basing that on nothing but hopes and dreams 😊.

Have a great week!

Hi - I’m afraid chances of a business upgrade are quite literally zero, but a small chance of Y+, still, depending on if you selected that as a fallback, and what your status and competition is like for the flight. If nothing else, it’s not looking too busy behind the curtain. Best of luck!

Thanks very much for that. Keeping my fingers crossed for the fallback upgrade.

just wanted to report back in case helpful for others - I was able to get Revenue Management to release 4 Reward seats in J on my preferred date. Even when it was wide open, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to secure that many.

@OATEK thank you again

Would anyone be so kind and provide me
with the updated loading for QF81 tomorrow?. Haven’t heard from QF yet, so no high hopes but just in case 😉. This would be 3/3 denied this year.
 
At least it’s a daytime flight and you will have a modicum of excitement when you get to SIN. 🤣
I will yes - a have a full agenda all week, and would also love to join you guys in the lounge but SIN is my final destination, so no access I guess!
