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!

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.

Yes, it is still I9: J9 C9 D9 I9 U0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0 G0 X0 E0

Here they are: J9 C9 D9 I9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L0 G0

11 J seats allocated according to the EF seatmap, so an encouraging sign, even if a bit early to tell.

defurax/kermatu, many thanks! Fingers crossed. Will report back.

Cheers,

Sorry quick question. Newbie here
Should I request just a business upgrade with fall-back to Y+ or just business or does it make no difference?

Depending on your status, with Y+ full there will be competition for J upgrades on QF73. The flight home with D9/I9 means it is wide open for upgrades at this early stage. But the outward leg is D1/I0 and that makes it much tighter. So Y+ may be worth a look outbound.

Hi brains trust

I know this is one month out, and things will change, but can I please see loadings for QF1 SYD-LHR on Sunday 14 May?
Have booked two tickets in Y+ and requested upgrades to J. I am SG. Am hoping for upgrade obviously.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed J remains like that for the next month! Unlikely I know... Interesting that Y+ is full and whY is wide open though.
