Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:
  • Expertflyer.com $99 / year
  • KVS Fees vary
  • Travel Agent friends
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!

What cabin are you in / hoping to get into and with cash or Avios?!

Simple answer in Post 1 https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33863011-post1.html

But there’s no straight answer as it’s all rather secretive

Flight one is full in F and not so busy currently in J
Flight two is maybe one third sold in F, and again not so busy in J

I’m in first on way out (lucky BA Amex 241 voucher spot post cw initial booking) so wanted to understand if it was full. In cw on way back so wanted to understand how full cw cabin is at present and generally flight as a whole on way back (due to a couple of cancellations a few week back)

Would greatly appreciate it if somebody could pull this flight for me. BA site has shown 8 seats taken in F for a few months now while seat map is 14F. Hoping the rest are blocked and we'll get an equipment change to a 77H.

BA194
Departing 8 June
IAH to LHR

Thanks for checking. I won't complain though since I nabbed my first int'l non-stop F for 75k or 79k AA points + fees.

Defo not a bad deal! Just a shame as they’re some of the very oldest F seats in the fleet now

Agreed. If only I could convince them to bump me back to BA196 that day which is slotted into a 77H.

Hi all - could someone check BA256 (DEL - LHR) on Saturday 20th of may please? I’m currently in business and the wife is in PE and I’d like to try to upgrade her into business if possible (basically to stop her nicking my seat, which will happen).

There is no AVIOS availability currently in business so no chance there. Anyone know if a paid upgrade at the airport would be possible? Thanks all
