Sorry to be a pain, it's all so bloody confusing. I want to learn the ropes!
I'm with you! ... exact same boat (or plane ... whatever). I'm also having an interesting conversation over at the 'New eUpgrades are in!' thread.
Thanks to the various posters here; as someone new last year to the AC/Aeroplan program, but doing a lot of flying on AC and *A now, I've been wondering about all the permutations and combinations of upgrades on AC. Byzantine to newbies!
As my company invariably flys me in Biz, I gather its all a bit academic for me, but nice to know if I lash out and do a side trip on a lesser fare.
Can you request an eUpgrade if you book a flight using miles?
