Plus upgrade at check-in question

Do Plus upgrades at checkin allocate a Plus seat for the duration on a continuing flight?

Example: WS247 YYT-YYZ with a stopover in YHZ

I believe these are handled on a segment-by-segment basis.

When I flew YYZ-DUB last May, the Plus upgrade was for the entire flight, even though there was a stopover in YYT.
I believe that if it's a single flight number, the upgrade is good for the duration of the flight, even if there is a stopover along the way.

Thanks, I thought it should be so, good to see it in action.

I find that when I book the middle class fare, and wait until 8-16 hours prior to departure time, I have had very good success with automatic upgrades at OLCI. Rarely do I get them in the cheapest fare bucket.

If both flights have the same flight number, I would expect you would pay one fee, since you are (likely) on the same aircraft. Ditto for the YYZ-YYT-DUB route mentioned above.

Can you pay for the Plus upgrade (online check-in within the 24 hours) with your WestJet $ or Travel Bank credits?

Any way you can teach me the way to automatic upgrades? Flying from YYZ to the Caribbean in February..
