Qf 93 mel-lax 12/9/10 i am informed is 14 oversold in y - good op up one thinks

I would add though, and I believe it is practice that QF do deliberately oversell on certain flights, however while you can take a position on how many people are expected to turn up, it may well turn out to be the case that many more do, increasing your chances once again.

It is definately an art and not a science.

That's another avenue of getting an op up if you're prepared to be a little bit flexible.

If you were travelling SYD/LAX on the first day of school hols when you know it's always full you could 'volunteer for offload' & you may be given J on a later flight or one the next day plus receive denied boarding compensation (DBC) plus hotel accomm, meals etc.

A win win situation as it gets the airline out of a tight situation plus you're now fully cashed & maybe J on the next flight!

I have done that out of LAX back to Oz with United.

They gave us accommodation, meals, phone calls, etc and an upgrade from J to F.
