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

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

This flight/route is operated by an A330 so Y+ won't be available. Still some availability in J although the cheaper fare buckets are starting to disappear.

Hi,

Couple of questions thanks, just wondering what the loads are like for May 5th BNE-SIN-LHR, QF51 and QF1.

I was also wondering if it’s worth changing to Economy Flex in terms of upgrade availability / priority? I’m on Bronze QClub member.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

Can someone please check for J (and Y+ on QF9) loading on these two flights please:
  • QF649 07MAY SYD-PER
  • QF9 07MAY PER-LHR
I'm trying to figure out if I should pray for a J upgrade or use my lounge passes.
 
Hi folks, wonder if someone could kindly please check the loading for QF25 22MAY SYD-HND?

2 x pax currently booked in Y (me as an SG, other as a NB). Submitted an upgrade request to J for both (via my account) back in November and am hopefully going to be WP (assuming DSC post) prior to upgrade requests being processed.

Cheers!

Safe to say no upgrades will be available for anyone on either flight, sorry! (possibly a last minute upgrade for WP or higher to PE... but even that is a maybe)

Looking nice and light at the moment, with even the deep discount (I) bucket on offer in business (this is the fare class that WPs can request to release award seats from). I'd say good chances, but still some time to pass. Your upgrade will be processed based on your own status at the time of processing; your travel partner's status won't weigh you down :)

Oof, that's a lot of zeroes!

Thanks for checking!
Yes - very full on QF9, and that's the case for days either side. I did re-check the SYD-PER leg in isolation (rather than as a connection to QF9), and it is not as bad as it seemed for that flight. A possibility something may happen on that segment, still:

Thanks for doing the extra check!

QF649 without the connection looks way better! I'm surprised QF9 is so full - I intentionally picked it over QF1 because I thought "who is flying QF9 on a Sunday".

Sorry to trouble you some more - would you mind checking QF1 SYD-LHR on 07MAY? I could switch to that flight at no cost...

Thank you!

No problem! QF1 is just as bad in the premium cabins, but maybe a few more seats free in Y. Does seem odd they are all so busy at this time! 🤷‍♂️
