JQ Flight Loadings

[reductionist]

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I'm looking at the flight loadings on a couple of Jetstar flights this Thursday.

JQ 29
J4 D0 Y4 B4 V4 T4 S4 R4 Q4 O4 N4 M4 L4 A4 K4 H4 I0 E0 C0

JQ 7
J4 D4 Y4 B4 V4 T4 S4 R4 Q4 O4 N4 M4 L4 A4 K4 H0 I0 E0 C0

They are almost exactly the same, and every fare class is either 4 or 0.

It seems to me like this wouldn't be a coincidence, and maybe they are showing a 4 where you'd normally see a 9?

Is this expected behaviour?

FWIW I can load the seat map for the J cabin on JQ 29 (as I'm booked on this flight) and I can see that there are exactly 9 unallocated seats.

JQ only show to a maximum of four.

...

Now with the numbers, in order to keep competitors somewhat in the dark as to how many seats are actually available, the airlines have their own determined maximum number to reveal at any one time.

For QF it's generally 9, for AA it's 7 and for JQ, 4.

Cool! I'll chuck an AFF tag on my carry on. Say hello if you spot me.

Sure thing. I'm travelling with my mum and 7 year old daughter and I'm going to have a go at getting all of us into the Flounge. Last time I took this flight the Flounge was almost empty so I'm hoping they will let one extra "small" guest in.

Will look out for you!

I'd offer you an F lounge guest spot but I'm travelling with SWMBO.

Hi Reductionist

No problemo re the guesting, I'm hopeful they will be ok with it.
