Was offered a $99 upgrade YYZ to YUL during online check-in on Tuesday morning, for my 8pm flight. It was going to be a long day, so I decided to go for it. Given the 6 hour delay in YYZ, spent in the lounge, not the terminal, it was worth it.
...and, for what should be the maximum LMU, $899 for YVR -> SYD, no taxes.
At the 24hr OLCI, there was no I-space, and I wasn't able to upgrade at that time. Some additional I-seats got released this evening (-6 hr), with space listed as:
Carrier Flight From Depart To Arrive A/C St Availability
--------- ------ ---- -------- ---- -------- --- -- -----------------------------------------------------------
AC 33 YVR 23:50 SYD 08:15 +2 77L 0 J9 C9 Z9 Y9 M9 U9 B9 H9 V9 Q9 L9 A9 R9 K9 N9 E9 S9 T0 I4 P9
In the AC on-line check-in screen, there were lots of J seats left (at least 7).
I caved in, re-checked-in, and accepted the upgrade. It was a tough decision, as my initial S-class return ticket was $1400, all in (Tango Plus Seat Sale). But, gotta love the lie-flat seats.

Tough call, but a long week won out. It will be interested to see if there is actually a meal service or just the cheese plate. The scheduled time is 2:04 so according to Andrew's thread about upgrades to meal service, this flight should have 2 hot options...

YYZ-LHR AC858/17AUG from Tango $699. DEAL. I thought about calling to upgrade from T to T+ so I could use a SSWU, but in the end, I need that SSWU for something else, so after working a 1200-2030 I'm going to enjoy the comfy seat tomorrow night!
YVR-YOW T+ $349 + tax at OLCI 24 hrs out. Declined. Not worth it on an A320. Not sure of I space, but J=7, C=6, Z=5. My round trip ticket cost almost that much without taxes.
Edit: Offered again at the kiosk. There were 2 J seats empty, but one younger guy with a backpack had a messed up ticket (GA: "I'll fix his ticket later") and I guess they put him in one of the seats. He looked really confused when he got to his seat. Y was full as far as I could tell.
YOW YVR
OLCI at T-23
$316 from T+ (GOC contract fare)
J4 C4
There were two op-ups at the gate and the gate failed to identify them to the In-charge, leading to some confusion as to which two people would go without meals.
