Hi
Can you someone please help and do a load check on the above flights. I am in PE but thinking of upgrading to UC but the cost is very high so might help make the decision somewhat easier
thanks
Tony

Happy to (unless Neil beats me!):
VS27
J2 D2 R2 Z2 W8 S8 K8 Y8 B8 L8 M7 Q4 X0 N0 O0
VS15
J2 D2 R2 Z2 W9 S9 K9 Y9 B9 L9 M9 Q9 X9 N9 O9
So looks like you'll have plenty of space in PE ... but will be lucky to get those two seats on either flight in J!

thank you. Is it worth upgrading. I have to buy extra miles to do this which will cost 380 for the two of us?
Thanks

Is the flight available to upgrade with miles?
If it is then that is the only way you are going to sit in UC as it looks pretty full so no op-ups.

Are you sure you can upgrade with miles? Just because there are 2 seats available doesn't mean you will be able to upgrade with miles. There must be 'G' reward availability. I would suggest you either give VS a call to check or try a dummy miles booking on the VS site, as I would be surprised if they are miles seats, although ISTBC.
Also, what fare code are you PE seats booked in, you must be in either S or W to upgrade with miles.

Hi Neil
Not sure what class I am in in PE (they were reward seats) but I rang VS this morning I could upgrade to PE subject to having enough miles (unless this has now changed)
Thanks

If that is the case, then I would call VS and put a hold on the mileage seats so that when you buy the miles you know the seats are still there. Nothing worse than someone calling up in the middle of you sorting it out and taking them, leaving you with miles you then can't use!

Loadcheck seems to be broken for me, just blank availability string. I saw the post on Aug 12th saying it was down. how did you guys get the results?

My guess would be expertflyer.com . Some of us still subscribe and this is turning out to be a good move now that load check is down.

Or some of us work in travel and our lives are dictated by a user interface that hasn't changed in 20 years!
Nice and easy to do load checks though....
