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

that looks like a pretty light load post school holidays for such a route departing in only a few days.

MEL-PER looks relatively open, but much less so for the PER-LHR leg which is the leg that one would really want to be upgraded for.
 
If you're on the MEL-PER sector, I'll be on that flight too on Saturday. I'm down for a Y to Y+ upgrade request.

You don't usually set your sights so low.🧐

Slowing down, young fella? 🤪

Meanwhile, I'll be schmoozing with Mrs@Daver6 over some cozy 2016 Shiraz on a wintery night tomorrow...:cool:

:p

Quite happy with Y+ and saving the points for a shortish day flight. After the F lounge I'm not really after the food or drink. Just want to be a bit more comfy. It's actually solid value when you think about it. International Y+ is better than dom J on the 737 in terms of seat and food. Wine is about the same.
 
Hi there,

Looks like today's QF1 is cancelled.

Can someone post loadings and J seat map for QF1 tomorrow (20Jul) and Friday (21Jul).

Many thanks! :)

Here you go, and good luck! Not a single seat in any class on tomorrow's QF1, unsurprisingly. Friday better.

Hi, could someone kindly help with the loading of QF12 on 26 July LAX to SYD please. I am hoping for an award upgrade to J from Y. TIA.
 
One more request if possible.

Hong Kong to Sydney Dec 2. QF128. Seems like this is an a380 service, I have J award tickets. Do I stand a chance at an upgrade to F? 2 pax

When they run the A380 intermittently to/from HKG they don't sell F, but a look at the seat map shows the last row in the F section is available to select as WP. All the other rows are blocked, and allocation will be based on status.
