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.

Hey mate, how did you go with this? I am flying QF15 on 21/07 and it suggests there are many seats unallocated but the seat map is full other than about 8 blocked seats.
Hi @Nikh , and welcome to AFF! QF15 on the 21-JUL has 6 seats remaining for sale in business (with all but the award fare bucket still available), but 8 unallocated on the seat map... so most likely means that 2 pax are yet to select their seats in QF MMB.

Hi David - taken using ExpertFlyer, which many on here have a Premium subscription to (myself included). It takes some getting used to, and some initial trial and error to understand what you're looking at when you get at the results, but can be very handy for regular travellers. It's USD$99.99 per annum for unlimited queries, alerts, etc., but you can trial it first with a free account.

Cheers,
Matt.

I got an upgrade at T-27 hours.

The seat map in the days before I received confirmation only showed 2 unallocated seats and 4 blocked seats in the front row.

Good luck 🤞
 
Hello, is anyone get a seat map of this flight for me? Thanks!
27/07 CX178 MEL->HKG
I understand this has an 'F' cabin that one might get allocated as CX diamond or OWE.
 
Sorry, what I mean was that it is sold as 3 class, but has the F seats in it.
It wouldn't let me select them (online unavailable). So, I was wondering what it looked like on the EF seatmap.
