Availability of J on QF 1 5 May 06
Hi all,
Sorry for the trouble (cause I don't know how to do this yet), can anyone tell me if there are any sets available in J for QF 1 on 5 May? I am just interested: given QF's new policy of not advising any successful upgrade with points till at the airport, I have booked a flight on BA WT+. I would interested to know what level of J availability there is currently on QF 1 (I apreciate that this will mostly likely change) - I just want to see how I would have turned out if I'd booked Y on QF and taken the gamble of an update being available.
Cheers

Taking WT+ is a good choice anyway; Full Status credit earning plus a pretty comfortable journey with no gamble and no use of 96,000 points ( assuming LHR destination )

'9' means there are 9 seats or more avialable for sale in the fare bucket. For Qantas Business class J/C/D/I/U are the letters.
J9 C9 D9 I9 U0 to BKK implies there are plenty of seats for sale as they are selling seats at a discount (D,I) Note: U is award availability and there are currently none allocated for either flight.
J9 C9 D0 I0 U0 to LHR implies that seats are starting to run out; while they are willing to sell at least 9 full priced business class seats they are not selling and in the discount classes.

Actually, "C" is now the code for discount international b/c fares; "D" is used only for "package" fares (RTW, circle etc). "I" is for special deals (not usually available from Australia).

SYD-BKK :There are exactly 12 seats left at the moment. Only 58 seats left in Economy and 1 seat in First.
BKK-LHR: 12 left in Business again, 31 in economy and none in first class. Busy!
