Success for all my outbound and inbound options as a solo traveller on a booking from SYD to MEL (D>U) for the start of Jan; but... for my family, who were on a separate PNR, I could only get the inbound leg approved, and so I needed to change the plans around a bit to suit.
Ended up with all of us on an early morning flight in U for the outbound (this was publicly available), and then we're on a D>U release for the afternoon 332 service home a couple of days later. Availability for the 2 outbound options I requested were both J7 C7 D5 I3. The inbound was J9 C9 D7 I0.
Cheers,
Matt.
