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

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

No upgrade success this time. A tiny chance noting I have requested up to gate but the check in lady said it was a fairly full flight. She did say the seat next to me was blocked so I hope it holds.
 
Hey,

Trying to see chances of upgrade from economy to business on:

QF79 MEL>NRT
21 March 2019
2 pax (1 SG 1 NB)

Thanks in advance.
Peter.

U3 but J7 !?

U>0 generally means a good chance, J<9 generally means not so good a chance ... 9 days out - much can change.

Hey all, wondering if someone could please run the numbers for a upgrade from W -> J on QF26 HND-SYD on 08/03/19 for 2 pax (WP status).

Got the upgrade on the way over, hoping to get it on the way back. Thanks in advance!

No First lounge access unless you are Emerald (QF Platinum) ortravelling First on oneworld (or Emirates) or can get someone with that access to guest you in (within guesting rules).
