I looked but I clearly missed it. What is interesting is that the requests can be made up to Dec 30 but the flights can be later within the 14 day window.

Also just also saw on Dec-26 that AC873 FRA-YYZ is J7R7 (also Y0) so definitely trying to use the R space to clear up Y on over solds for international.

Merry Christmas and THANKS AC! Also appreciated the notification of the promo on FT, which is where I discovered it before the email came out. Probably would have missed it completely on the AC home page.
While the airline clearly stands to benefit from this as well as described above, in my case it's a win-win situation. My daughter and I were very happy to have our LHR-YYC upgrades confirmed at T-7. Much nicer than Aerolotto at the gate. And while I was already in London when the promotion began (with a successful upgrade), she also enjoyed an immediate upgrade on request for her YUL-LHR flight. Sure, we're burning credits which we maybe wouldn't have had to "spend", but they're expiring soon anyway and this was our best and perhaps only opportunity to use them.

Before many of you head out for your holiday journeys, we wanted to give you the opportunity to request your upgrade even further ahead of time.
As a special bonus for the holiday season, all Top Tier members will have an expanded eUpgrades booking window. Its applicable to upgrade requests made between December 10 and December 30, 2012, when traveling with a Tango Plus fare on all flights operated by Air Canada or Air Canada Express. (Yes... that's all flights - including international!)
The expanded upgrade window will be as follows:

Requested upgrade on AC33 approx. 90 mins after the Super Elite upgrade window "opened". Have over 110 e-upgrades in the account. Even with the front showing at least 20 empty seats (yes, I'm aware of the fact this is not necessarily a true picture of the load), was immediately waitlisted. Hmmmmmm........ Charli
