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.

Could someone please check QF35 for 9/9?

Fortunately I knew this one, but departure/destination in the requests are helpful.

Ended up going with QF37 Mel-Sin on 9/9 with similar loadings but noticed it became J1 C2 yesterday. 24 hours before, received confirmation of upgrade over text 😊.

Wonder if pyjamas are offered on QF37? It leaves at 4pm, so technically not a day flight 😜
 
Hi could somebody please check for me loadings for MU740 Mel to PVG on 27/11/2023 and also MU737 PVG back to MEL on 25/12/2023. Just back in time for Xmas. Thanks in advance. 😊

Quick question … given there’s U4 - I am reading this as there’s 4 business reward seats available ? Or am I wrong about this ?

No - U class on China Eastern looks to be a business flex fare (higher than J)
 
Hi team - I’m WP flying economy flex on QF9 MEL - LHR on 10 October. If anyone is able to give me points upgrade chances I would be so grateful :) I applied about 3 weeks ago, the same day I bought the tickets.
 
Assuming you are looking for J it looks reasonably promising but a bit too far out to tell. Check back later in September

Thanks in advance!

Thankyou! Looks like it's back to the drawing board with that I0 U0, lol!
 
If someone could help me find an award flight on any airlines going CTS to TPE please.
Cash price is really high. I'm looking to fly 16th December but can also leave the 15th if available.
I can't do the 14th unfortunately.

thank you in advance :)

What do you define as a reasonable price?

I just found something odd.
Look at Scoot via their web site price is approx $A566 and then look at Scoot via Skyscanner and then to the Scoot web site and the price is approx $A365.
The same flights so does anyone have any idea why there is such a discrepancy.
