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.

Appreciate it if someone could check EP for loadings.

COuld someone please tell mw how many seats are vacant on QF 1 Syd to DBX on 20 May - I find it very hard to understand the fare buckets, so just how many seats would be really helpful. thanks

F1 A0 J9 C0 D0 I0 W9 R0 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N8 G0 E0

That is the only information that you can get publicly... To help you decipher it.

First
F1 A0
1 seat for sale in most expensive bucket

Business
J9 C0 D0 I0
9+ seats for sale in most expensive bucket, none in others

Premium Economy
W9 R0 T0
9+ seats for sale on most expensive bucket, none in others

Economy
Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N8 G0 E0
9+ seats for sale in all but the cheapest buckets, suggesting lots of spare seats in Y

Hi there - what's the capacity looking like for QF8415 on the 20th May (6am SYD - DXB) operated by Emirates. I'm Gold FF but can't use QF points for an Emirates upgrade so I'm going to try the smile nice tactic with the check in staff! I can always live in hope.

Hi there - EK415 shows the following: F2 A2 J4 C4 I4 O0 P2 Y7 E7 R7 W7 M7B7 U7 K7 H7 Q7 L7 T7 V0 X0
and the QF8415 codeshare you are on shows this: F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9V0 S9 N9 Q0 O0

Seems to be a bit of breathing room still... so good luck!

Cheers,
Matt.

With this I am guessing they are not going to send out a chance to offer an upgrade bid?

I'm sure you will let us know if they do! Can't say I have seen a convincing explanation of how/when they chose people for these offers.

I haven't that many upgrade bid offers for international flights. Only domestic.

My fiancee flew out today on QF23. Flight chockers. I am guessing mine will be the same in 2 weeks. I think I had better stick going to HKG and then BKK/CNX from there as long as Qantas fly the 747/A380 there. Hate to think what it is going to be like when all Asian routes are A330.

Thank you OATEK. Looks like an upgrade to F might be off the cards this time!

Re: update on QF93 on 12 sept

QF29 on Sunday 31/5. What's loading like and is it new config? Wonder if I should burn 40k QFF and try the new J.

Last minute swaps are still fairly common for old vs new, as I experienced recently in sin, I'd say unless you don't really care whether it's old or new config don't blow your points as you may be disappointed if a last minute swap happens.
