Qantas U seats availability showing on Expertflyer but unable to see on Qantas website

[maaz]

I have fairly new to Experflyer and have premium access. I would like Classic rewards flights return from anywhere in Australia (probably SYD although I will be coming from PER) to YVR in Aug/Sept 2023. I can see in Expertflyer that there are U seats available on dates I would like to travel but they are not yet available on QF website. I am a Gold FF. I am wondering if I am seeing on Expertflyer the availability for Platinium FF?
If this is the case then they will probably be gone by the time I can see them. Am I reading this right? Thanks

Where are you seeing the U availability on EF? Having a quick look at late July & August 2023 and I see nothing on QF75.

September won't be available yet at all. What dates in August? How many tickets?

I am wondering if you can see the PER-SYD sector showing U for August but not the SYD-YVR?

I have just gone and had another look - yes there are flights available in U but they are on AC and not QF. My mistake - I had filtered for QF but it bought up the AC flight AC36 BNE and AC34 from Syd. There are multiple dates for the outgoing journey. I thought I saw early Sept as well but maybe not.

That’s showing U on BNE-SYD

Nothing on SYD-YVR

Unfortunately you need U availability on QF, so none of them will work. Having a quick look through the calendar, there doesn't appear to be any reward flights on QF75.

As an aside, do award seats that are not yet available to NB show up on EF at all?

Yes. The QF imposition of limited Bronze availability is independent of EF, which shows up to the minute availability.
