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.

Correct. My Platinum status will cease on December 1 so I may as well complete my award bookings whilst the going is good. As an aside, I'm guessing it's fine for me to book award travel for family members even if I'm not travelling with them.

yes, provided they fit one of the specified relationships set down by qantas, and that you need to confirm during booking.

Thanks for that. I managed to get two business class seats booked on the 10th on LATAM (they just released award availability on that date).

Sorry for bothering again, but could I get loadings for the following dates for QF27 (SYD>SCL):
  • March 5
  • March 12
  • March 19
  • March 26

I've managed to fluke classic rewards in Y from MEL-SYD-HNL on 28/12/24 and HNL-SYD on 1/1/25. :)

Have put in for upgrades but I suspect the likelihood is somewhere between Buckley's and none.

Could someone advise me of the loads on QF103 (SYD-HNL) on 28/12/24 and QF104 (HNL-SYD) on 1/1/25?

Very slim chance for J coming home, but unlikley without highest status, I'd suggest. It's sold through on the outbound. Y+ is sold through on both flights.

Good news is that Y looks to be pretty light on, so should be able to spread out from behind the curtains.

Cheers,
Matt.

Only silver so little chance it seems. Hopefully I'll at least get poor man's business class for the outbound. Might grab an exit row seat for the flight back.
