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

Well I think it's highly likely that MEL will still be in lockdown come 4 September and even if not that travel to QLD will be severely restricted.
 
Thank you all and yes sadly I agree but one can but live in Hope. We are booked to go for a week to celebrate my Birthday but alas looks likely to be a NoGo.

Would appreciate if someone could look up the loading info for TK157 October 3rd and TK78 January 3rd. Hoping to upgrade from Economy P Class to Business Class..
 
@optionsor out of interest, what fare class do you need to be available to upgrade on Turkish Airlines?

Expert Flyer lists I as award inventory and J as upgrade inventory. I assume you would need J space to upgrade using Miles&Smiles miles, and I space to do a Star Alliance upgrade using another program's miles?

You are absolutely right about the upgrade inventory. I need seats available in J class to upgrade from Economy using Miles&Smiles miles. As for I class I think it's for upgrades using another program's miles as you noted but don't have first hand experience. In my case the October 3rd flight shows no seats available in J class and January 3rd flight doesn't show the info for J class.
 
Would appreciate if someone can advise loadings on QF35 MEL-SIN on 16-SEP-2022 and QF36 SIN-MEL on 25-SEP-2022

Many thanks
