U availability LAX-MEL
 
I have my fiance waitlisted to U/g using UCs on Oct 14 QF94. I have been watching this flight for U availability and other than Fridays and weekends when the J load is higher, U usually opens up 3 days or so before the flight. Now coming up to Oct 14 I check today and all of a sudden none of the QF94 flights on upcoming days incl Oct 14 have any U (even Oct 9) even though for most they show J9 D9. Why is QF not releasing what is clearly available J seats to U? And why has this only started happening in the last week (eg Oct 7 QF 94 had U released).

Possible points to note, in the order of them appearing in my head:

- I assume you've checked your booking and they aren't cleared?
- Since the World Cup is on, they may want to hold it back as late as possible?
- There's still a few hours before the '3 days out' deadline, patience, grasshopper!
- I *think* QF will check it everyday from now on...?
- As you said, there're still plenty of seat left. Patience, grasshopper! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Seatmap shows plenty of seats on the main deck. There may be even more if the 'special' seats are blocked, e.g., exit row.
- They don't like you. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks Leumas.

Patience was never my virtue http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

And if I was paranoid I would pick the last http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
