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.




>>>> END OF ADMIN UPDATE <<<<

Original thread title: update on QF93 on 12 sept

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

QF 2, 2 June: J9 C9 D9 I4 U0
QF10, 3 June: J9 C9 D3 I0 U0

I would have thought it looks quite good for an upgrade on both flights, particularly QF2.

Thanks Danger

Doesnt look like coming through at this late stage still have good seats in Y so cant complain :D
 
Re: Upgrade probability tomorrow

If someone has a spare moment & access to EF I'd love to see the flight loadings for QF21 tomorrow night (May 28).
 
Re: Upgrade probability tomorrow

Thanks Rallo. Probably a few too many seats still left in Y for an upgrade to be likely. :\
 
Re: Upgrade probability tomorrow

Just wanted to add a data point. I was op-up'd to Y+ at check-in. Thanks QF!


Congrats !

WP helped too.

Data points such as this help all of us to decipher the loading vs op-up chance.

J9 but not upgraded to J, wonder what QF was thinking there (due to I5 ?)

Y+ is not too bad, however.
 
Re: Upgrade probability tomorrow

Really forward planning question - I have booked 2 tickets (myself and partner) in whY (O fare bucket) on QF24 from BKK to SYD on 18 October 2013.
Understand that this is not an upgradeable fare - but I have twice booked tickets in the O fare bucket in the past 12 months which have been opened up to points upgrades closer to departure (and the points upgrades have come through). Do QF still do this? Or is it very hit and miss?
I am lowly PS, not sure if that helps or not.

Thanks

I am platinum ff and booked in Premium Economy (T) and have requested a points upgrade to business (my PER-MEL upgrade request is already confirmed). What's it looking like this far out for the longhaul leg?

Thanks :)
 
Re: Upgrade probability tomorrow

[WP]+[I9]-[13days]=Reasonably good chance you would be successful [with a little + for A8 (J->F upgrades freeing seats)]

For more see post #1 content as well as "Understanding ExpertFlyer" link therein.

Great :) Thanks. Just wasn't sure about the T/2 and whether they'd upgrade if PE wasn't full.
