On the positive side of things this seems to be turning into a really great year for discounted airfares in Canada (e.g. just over $400 return, YVR-YYZ advertised by AC in the G&M today). Similar airfares by non-AC's.

On the other hand AC's minimum upgradable fare class seems to be going in the other direction making it difficult to justify another $400 or so just to sit up front on a four and a half hour flight.

Or has AC made some concessions in that regard for 2003?
