Viewing seat plan

I wish you welcome Blu as well.

This should do the trick! When the display comes up look for little +'s with orange background. Click these and you may see a seat number beside "Seating" if a seat is allocated. If there is a seat number, click on that and a pop up window will appear; showing a seat map if available. If if "seating" only shows somethinh like "non smoking", call qantas and request seating.

Nup, Qantas will not let you see this using thier web site.

 

System must have been down - often it will show an error message saying the seating plan is not available. It's not available for domestic flights seating.

It's a wonderful website for checking out seating availability - hand-in-glove with Seat Guru which has an excellently compiled list of aircraft types (pity it's light-on for QF with only the 744 showing) and showig which are the best (or worst seats) and why.

 

There have been some issues with the checkmytrip seat plans lately, but they seem to have been rectified.

Be aware that the seat plan shows as "allocated" seats that have been blocked by the airline, but do not yet actually have an allocation. These could be exit rows, bassinet poitions or even those seats some airlines reserve for their elites. For example, Qantas permit only their Elite Status and QP members to preallocate the first few forward rows of economy. This will show on the map as fully allocated in those areas, but, may in fact, have very few seats taken.
