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

Can someone please check QF 11 SYD-LAX departure 17th August and QF 8 DFW-SYD departure 29th August? I'm currently only Gold status but still hoping to snatch a points upgrade to First at least one way of my trip- how are my chances looking? Thanks a lot!

As per ExpertFlyer:

QF11 SYD-LAX 17/08/2017 F5 A3 J9 C8 D6 I0 W5 R2 T0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 X4
QF8 DFW-SYD 29/08/2017 F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 T9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O0 X9 E9

Considering other data, upgrades to F are very tight outbound but you should have more luck on your return sector.
 
Thanks a lot for your help- the return looks quite promising and is, given the length of that flight, the much more important one! :)
 
Good afternoon all

Would some one be kind enough to check loading and availability on QF29 MEL-HKG for Friday 11th August.

Many thanks in advance
 
Hi brother is on following flight and hoping for points upgrade from PEY to J

Tues 15 August HKG to SYD on QF 128 dep at 8.15pm

Thanks
 
Hi all, looking for an upgrade to J and wondering if someone can help me with the following loadings to give me an idea of success!

16th August - QF12 (JFK->LAX)
16th August - QF 94 (LAX->MEL)

Thanks in advance!

QF 12 looks very good - there's even a points award seat available


QF 12JFK 6:10p → LAX 9:00p
J9 C9 D9 I9 U1 W4 R4 T4 Z4 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 G0

QF 94 doesn't look so good. Fair chance as F is still quite open so some may move up

QF 94LAX 10:10p → MEL 6:55a
F7 A7 J3 C3 D2 I0 W5 R4 T0 Y6 B6 H6 K4 M2 L2 V2 S1 G0
 
Offer from Qantas to upgrade from Y to J, would be interested in knowing loading so I can assess offer.

QF 15 BNE TO LAX on Saturday 19 August. It departs 1020

Thanks in advance

Thanks pjm99au! Received a text from Qantas 36 hours out confirming upgrade from JFK-LAX. Fingers crossed for the second leg!

Just as a little update- for some reason I must have been really lucky as I received the magic text message from QF this morning confirming my upgrade to First on the outbound, about 27 hours out from departure time :p
