If there are no R seats available at T-7days, any advice to make sure I am near the front of the que for at the gate upgrades? Are upgrades sometimes done during OLCI (other than LMU)?
The gist of it is that although AC claims that the waitlist is transferred to the airport rather than the old system, where it started again, that is not (always?) happening. So the original waitlists are not clearing. What is not evident is whether the previous system system of a new airport waitlist, based on time of check-in, is still there. There are some indications that it might not be, so the whole question of how waitlist pax are dealt at T-24 is a mystery.
