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!

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

Holiday season aside but just based on the data points above, it seems that some of QF J loads on Asian routes are quite low even just a few days out. So upgrades with points on some routes seems quite feasible as Gold.
 
When I checked the loadings 2 days before the flight there were still Y seats available for sale ... If I remember correctly, there were some Y/B/H/K available for sale ... And I think there were only 2 WPs in the J cabin. I'm only saying this because only 2 pax in the J cabin got a wine bottle on just before landing, thanking for being a stellar pax and loyalty ...
Excellent! And sure beats that exclusive QF magazine that you and I missed out on at the end of the year! ;)
 
Hi - could someone check QF2 LHR to SYD 19/01/2024? I’m WP, booked in D, looking for classic upgrade to A. Thanks in advance.:)
 
Hi there
Could someone please check loadings for QF27 SYD to SCL on Sunday 21 Jan 2024? Have purchased PE and thinking about going in the great upgrade lottery!
 
Hi there
Looking for loads for QF 128 HKG - SYD 22/1/24 (wishful PE -> J)
Had success a few weeks back and hoping for a repeat!

Thanks in advance :)
