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.

Hi guys, first post but I think I've found the correct place for this question.

QFF status not worth considering.

Myself and partner flying QF9 MEL -> LHR 31st Jan

In Y with points upgrade request to J and then to Y+ if J doesn't work.

What's the flight status like and what are my chances of an upgrade of some sort?

Also, being around 2 weeks out, could I expect many more seat sales or would the results that hopefully someone can post for me be pretty close to what the flight will be like?
Here are the numbers. I'll leave the analysis to others:

Can anyone pull up the loadings for QF5 SYD-SIN for 16/01/2013 (tomorrow)? It doesn't seem to show in my EF results. Interested in J cabin as waiting for an upgrade to process from Y+.
 
datal1, my opinion is that you should be ok for a J upgrade, depending on how many others have requests in, of course. If not then still ok for Y+. Still being 2 weeks out will change the loadings, so it is a bit hard to be sure. Perhaps check again 3 days out.
 
Hi Flying J QF 9 on 24th with points request for F. Any ideas on the probability at this stage?

Cheers

I also can't see QF5 but it's showing sold out as BA code share:

QF5 shows for me.

J0 C0 D0 I0 U0 W0 R0 T0 Z0 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 G0 X0 E0

Going to be a full one. Also I'd imagine upgrades would have already been processed by now. Maybe upgrade at the gate if lucky?

Flightstats is a non sub service you can use to check, at this stage it's a lightly loaded plane with good availability across most fare buckets:
