How does everyone check seat availability? Do you just wait until check-ins open or is there a way to do it ahead of time?

A little trick is to dummy a booking for say, 6 pax and see whether J is still available or not. As the J cabin is only 8, if there's less than 6 available it will say that Business is unavailable. Adjust and re-run the booking as needed.

Upgraded last night for this mornings flight to BNE - $85 min bid - mate also upgraded for $90 on the same flight. 4 seats available when I checked a week ago so it seemed a reasonable possibility.

Bid min on SYD to PER for $275. Processed at 24 hours out, seat map showed one other person in J. Only 3 people in the cabin when flight taken. Previous flight 2 hours prior had full business cabin according to check in staff.
