Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:
If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:
1. Actual travel date (don't say tomorrow, or similar, as that is ambiguous given the global flyertalk membership)
2. Departure and arrival airport codes
3. Flight number
Thanks!

Hi could somebody check BA027 LHR-HKG on Sat 26th Jan please.

I am reduced to travelling in Economy for work and I'm on a travel agent booking so the only possible opportunity of a paid upgrade offer will be at check-in. Interestingly they are offering Avios upgrades to WTP so either that cabin is empty or they are trying to encourage people to upgrade?

Thanks both. Perhaps there will be a few spare seats to stretch out in.

Many thanks - what does 68% / 29m refer to? I'm assuming it's 68 % sold? But 29m?

Apologies.

Please could someone kindly check BA2166 7 Mar TPA-LGW. The seating plan shows it as 4 class so it could turn into a FLUB opportunity

very odd. BA MMB is showing J rows 10-15 and we have 12J/K reserved. Any ideas what is wrong?
