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!

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.

It's either chokkas or they are considering cancelling it



Edit: I think it's just very full and they are reserving remaining seats for those flying SYD-CDG

Any chance of an availability check for the J cabin for CX out of Syd on 26,27 Dec? Any flight suitable of the four daily options.

To be more complete with all the J cabin, including discounted ones - and showing some variations. The CX162 at 11:05 on Sat 26 showing 2 discounted seats still (I is the cheapest), so could be a saving if you pick that one. The differing number of P class available gives an indication of which flights are more heavily booked (or expected to be so) out of what is still fairly lightly loaded.

Utterly brilliant equs. Is this coming from Expert Flyer? I managed to run some combinations looking for I class through ITA, and it seemed slim pickings, as trying to combine it with an onward flight. This will help immensely. Thank you.
