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

Letters are the class and the numbers are the seats for sale, to a max reported of 9.

Some interpretation is required. As an example, J D and I are all business seats, you need to read these together, it means the airline is willing to sell 9 in any class, it doesn't mean there are 27 J class for sale if they listed J9, D9, I9.

There are some further threads here if you search.

re: Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

I have an upcoming international flight, Syd - Auh VA29 on April 06th. I cannot see where I could do it online, so maybe someone here can help.

As a Velocity Gold Member, can I pre allocate Exit Row or Bulkhead seats? If I ring V Australia will they let me or do I have to wait until I get to the airport?
 
re: Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

Hi team, would someone be kind enough to have a look at the likelihood of my upgrade from premium economy to business would be, I know I will be really lucky seeing as I have no status, never know might be my day! If you could check how full the flights are would be great.

re: Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

I was interested in opinions on upgrade probability for QF5 on 28 March SYD-SIN
Expert flyer is currently showing lots of availability:
J9 C9 D3 I0 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q4 G0 E0

I'm just considering if I take up the limited offer to request an upgrade for a non upgradable flight. With all those empty Y seats, I'd guess an op-up is a very remote chance.

Chances of upgrade to F on QF 94
4th March ? EF showing availability in F9 A4 J6 Y7 B2 all others 0
Upstairs J cabin full on QF, even my coveted row 16 :shock: I am currently in 16A so won't we too upset if not. I have a points upgrade request lodged at exactly 90 days before fare class D
