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.

OATEK, many thanks for the info! Not much chance on the lottery then!
It can change daily in the final week, as full flex flyers decide to change etc.

Today QF19 is showing J3 C3 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 G0

So the reward seats have been dropped and J availability slightly up.

That is good to know. I too have seen it fluctuate nearer to date. Many thanks OATEK
 
So Ric, with less than 24hrs to go it shows

J1 C1 D0 I0 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 G0

7 seats blocked in J, one "open".

Yup, I have been checking BCD also. How fast all the Y availability went off! However, Qantas seat selection still shows a lot of Y seats not allocated.
But points upgrade does not look promising thus far.
Thanks for the info OATEK!! Much appreciated.
 
Hi just wondering im flying on 9 Dec from SUB- DPS on GA344, I applied upgrade through auction,

just wondering how many business available at the moment
thank you in advance.
 
I've applied for points upgrades to both business and premium economy for QF11 on Saturday 8th December and QF94 on Friday 14th December - if someone who has the knowledge on how could please check how availability is looking for those two flights I would be grateful!
Would someone mind updating this for me? I'm expecting the worst...

Many thanks Oatek, looks like the outbound one is a possible, virtually no chance on the return leg though! I possibly should have booked the 96 instead of the 94 but oh well.

Maybe if a few get an upgrade to F, they might make space for you in J? But as you say, with J pretty much full, it doesn't look good.

I would be happy with an upgrade to PE but even that is almost full - oh well!
 
A quick update - the magic upgrade genie sent me a text saying that I had won J in the upgrade lottery - much happies!
