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!

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

Cheers for the numbers, @kermatu . Didn't think I had buckley's BUT I can still always hope that that J seat doesn't sell or there's a cancellation or no show or somethin' and realistically I can better use 65000 pts 😎

Howdy folks, have a friend flying on QF7 from SYD-DFW on 26/12/23 and considering bidding for an upgrade.

Looking at the seat map, there are 26 unallocated seats, but want to check we're still looking at J9 too.
 
Thank you kindly!
Keep in mind that a Bid Now request falls behind every other category of upgrade request in terms of priority, and so if they have the points for it, a standard classic upgrade award request put in via the booking will give them the better odds

Yup - but my friend is bronze and was contemplating buying the necessary points to get to the 60K required (for ~$1650), so in this case, a Bid Now upgrade attempt is the better strategy...
