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

QF12 on 28/9 is pretty much zero chance
It's the last week of school holidays - everyone's on their way back to AU to be home for the weekend before school starts (I had wanted to go to SFO that week, but couldn't get a flight home before 4/10 :().
 
I didn't realise that till after we'd booked. Luckily we booked fairly early so seats at the time weren't the issue.
 
Not that I think loads will be full but can someone please posts loads for

QF127 SYD-HKG 03 September 2016
QF128 HKG-SYD 11 September 2016

Wouldn't knock back an op-up or 2 to business class. ;)

Op ups? Good to see you still have your sense of humour!

Can't complain. I've had a good run with op-ups where others haven't. Op-upped earlier in month on EK flight SIN-MEL.

But those flights loads look low so hoping 43J remains vacant. ;)

Oh I'm not so surprised you got an op-up on EK metal, I have had a few and I hear they are generous to QFF status pax.
But I thought op-ups were becoming very scarce on QF metal, even for their own status pax.

Op-ups are scarce because loads are lighter. In the 9 years I have been commuting SYD-BNE I have not seen lighter loads especially business class.
 
Hi everyone, is there anyone who can check QF73 Sydney to San Fran for me on the 1st September. I have used points to book premium economy and have asked for an upgrade to business. What are my chances? I'm only bronze.
thanks, I really appreciate your help.
The upgrade fairy came through. We both have been upgraded. Thanks everyone. I'm so excited.
 
Would someone mind checking the current loadings for me please on QF9, departing MEL-DXB tomorrow (6/9/16)?

Here you go: F1 A0 J4 C0 D0 I0 W1 R1 T0 Y9 B9 H9K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 G0

The premium cabins all look pretty full...
 
Well. The QF9 delay out of MEL tonight has screwed me. 2 hour delay with only an 80 minute scheduled transfer in DXB.
Can I trespass on someone's generosity to check the loadings on EK441 ADL-DXB tonight?

Pretty light in economy but fullish in the premium cabins.

Successful request to switch outbound ports due to QF9 delay.
Now departing on the EK441 codeshare out of ADL.
Many thanks bismark for providing the info required for me to successfully make the request!
 
Could someone kindly check QF73 Syd to SFO on 5 Oct? Husband and I have booked a classic award in Y and looking for an upgrade to J. Am Platinum but not sure if we will be lucky! Thanks
