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

Re: QF107 SYD - JFK Upgrade?

You may be lucky.

My recent points upgrade (J to F) was confirmed by SMS at T-60 (also WP).

Plenty of time to book the chauffeur!

I'm flying
QF107 SYD - JFK (2 May 2014)
QF3204 SFO - LAX (22 May 2014)
QF12 LAX - SYD (22 May 2014)

I bought Premium Economy tickets (O) and requested upgrade to Business last Friday. As a Platinum member, what are my chances?

I am guessing chauffeur service is out even if I get upgraded, as it requires 48 hours notice?

Many thanks
 
Re: QF107 SYD - JFK Upgrade?

It's really too far out to make any real sense or prediction based on current fare bucket loadings.

Interesting the O class upgrade... did you request them during a promotion?

I bought PE seats as part of the Qantas Unmissable Sale, and then requested upgrade to Business online.

Oh wait, I just checked the class, it's not O, it's T :oops:
 
Qf 11

Is it ok to dream? QF11 upgrade J>F x 4...

Less than 3 weeks and EF is showing...

All fingers and toes crossed!
 
Will be on QF127 on Dec 1, sitting back in Y+ with a points upgrade submitted for J, looks like my chances of success have evaporated.

Never thought they would fill up the front of the plane as well...
It's the only explanation I can think up that fits - similar out of PER as well when I looked a couple of months back. Demand dips down for a week then ramps up again for Christmas peak.

Many of the students that come to Australia from China are very well off. You would scarcely believe some of the stories I've heard.
 
I'm flying (with my SO) to the UK on QF9 on 18 December. Would someone please be so kind as to see what our upgrade chances look like (we're in Y).

cheers
