Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

[serfty]

>>>> ADDED 30 Sept 2010 <<<<

Background to this thread:

In a similar vein to the "Flight Availability / Upgrade Probability Help Desk" there has an increase in the posting of questions about specific seat allocation/availability on a flight. 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 such queries. This tends to reduce the overall usability of our site.

This new consolidated thread is where you can ask questions about seating allocation/availability. Hopefully, this will reduce clutter and improve usability.

Guidelines for posting in this thread:

Please post questions about availability of specific seats in this new consolidated thread. Be sure to include the airline, flight number, Origin, Destination, date and cabin as applicable.

When answering questions, please include the original question. This will assist in readability and management of the thread.

Spoiler: For Questions about Flight Availability, Fare Bucket Loadings & Upgrade Probability, please use this thread

Can anyone tell me the J layout for QF598 on the 11/3, how full it is and if there are any U seats left?

Hi everyone,

Quick bit of advice, I'm on QF108 tomorrow in J and booked into 23a.

I flew over last Saturday ( 4th Feb ) an was able to pick seats in the old 1st class area, however I'm trying to do the same but I have no access in front of row 23. Is there a reason for this?

Is this one of the plans with the new fit out or is QF108 sold as 4 class?

 

[serfty]

QF107 is sold as 4 class between SYD and LAX.

3 class T/Pac routes are QF15, QF7, QF25.

 

[mannej]

Can anyone give me a rough idea on how full the J Cabin of QF68 is on the 25th March?

Empty as in you expect seats to open up for seat selection closer to the flight?

(Wasn't sure whether you were looking for fare bucket availability - moving to Seating thread.)

Thanks for that. T-80 has just been booked into my calendar.

Do international flights open up at T-80 like domestic for better seating, or is it totally different?

There are certainly changes to seat availability in the week leading up to the flight.

I'd check daily, at T-80, T-48 and T-24 also.

Can someone please tell me the config on the following flights.. I had a look on seat guru and can't find any match because it seems like 69 is where the paired seats start instead of the usual 70. Just trying to find some good seats for me and my partner. Unfortunately no status. At the moment I am going for row 69 to avoid having people climb over me and as far away from the galley/toilets as possible.

thanks

This is the new 3 class config with the new PIFE.

44B/C are allocated.

43B/C are free (maybe upgraded status pax).

It's EZE for QF17/18.

In any case, you have the new 3 class configuration with economy starting in row 43.

Thanks serfty, can you confirm if these planes have personal IFE or AVOD? Appreciate the help, looks like I will stick with row 69.

 

[serfty]

These newly configured aircraft indeed have the latest Qantas international Personal IFE.
