AC 33 and 34 have been a pain over the years so I have had a few discussions on them with agents and AC executives. I am waiting for someone to confirm that he/she received an upgrade direct to SYD at the opening of the window for Toronto departure. Following that, I will approach AC for further clarification. Maybe one of the moderators on duty can clear it up.
