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.

Thanks very much! I dont like my chances for the upgrade to J but thats ok. W looks a bit empty so maybe there is a chance.. assuming the people in W get priority ahead of Y pax for upgrades.. thats how it works right? Or does WP in Y get priority ahead of SG in W? Thanks all!

The Qantas terms once stated that Status is used as a major basis in prioritisation.

This would indicate WP in Y would get upgraded before a SG in W.

The terms currently have the following:

16.3.2 Qantas Loyalty will determine which requests for Classic Upgrade Rewards will be awarded, if any, at any time within seven days of the scheduled departure of the flight from its port of origin, depending on several factors determined by Qantas, acting reasonably, including the original booked cabin and the Member's Membership tier.

So that is not so cut and dried in regards to status.

I would be most grateful if someone could assist in checking the loading for QF43 SYD-DPS on 16/3/24 please. Thanks.
 
Could some please check loadings for QF742 on 16/3/2024 and EK417 on 16/3/24

Thanks
 
Excellent! We don't want our customers waiting 6 mins for a response when they could get one in 4 mins :D
absolutely not - that would just not be acceptable and I would have to lodge a serious complaint (or maybe just get slightly peeved) or 🤷‍♀️

;)
