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.

I have a ticketed flight for 2 passengers in J (cash fare) as follows

AM452 HAV-MEX 17May2024 Dep 17:15

Flight centre have emailed me saying the flight is cancelled and we will have to move to 18th 17:15 as no other flights available.

Yet I just went on the Aeromexico site and they are offering to sell me 2 J seats on that exact flight

Can anyone help shed some light please?
 
Slightly O/T for this thread, but not sure it warrants its own...

Here's a tiny glimpse into the dark arts of yield management.

I had a flight cancelled. Revenue fare booked in D bucket.

For my preferred alternative flight EF was showing:

For a cancellation, obviously D availability doesn't matter.

What I thought was interesting is that while my new flight is still booked into D, it appears to have been taken from C inventory.

This was the search result right after the ticket came through.

Dark arts indeed.

Thanks!
 
Hi team,
How’s QF11 SYD-LAX 30/03/2024 looking?
When will business upgrade requests finish?
Thank you in advance
 
Thank you. So there are 3 business seats available but none left for upgrades (I0) - does that mean they will not allow upgrades even though the seats are available?
There are seats available for upgrade in all classes, if QF want the points. With 4 seats in F, some WP+ or WP QFF pax may get an upgrade, making more seats available for upgrade to J. Its a waiting game at this point where status trumps.
 
Hi there, could I please request loadings for all QF direct flights:
PER>BME on Thursday 1 August and Friday 2 August
BME>PER on Sunday 4 August and Monday 5 August
