You we're travelling on a busy day, and it's possible that at the time you requested the change, flights were oversold.
AC Res should have access to this information - whether they tell you or not is another story.
did a last minute same day switch a roo from YYZ -YUL few weeks ago after my meeting went long and I would have missed the flight anyways. Was orig YTZ to YUL.
Agent was cool found me a flight 45 min later. Says there were 3 open seats and put me in one. On the receipt, I noticed they put me in a U bucket seat. My original res was in S. Paid the change fee of 75 and said thanks.
Might have even been able to win aero-lotto on a U fare, but then where would the pilots and flight attendants in J have sat. :-)
