I've never flown AC before, but will be next month from YYZ-SFO. A client has already purchased the ticket for me and I wanted to call in and buy a preferred seat. I've now spent 2 hours on the phone getting either a busy signal or the call actually disconnecting itself before even that happens. I've tried the 888 general number as well as the 514 area code number listed on their website.

Is there another option I don't know about? I can see my reservation online, but it won't let me do anything to it as far as seat assignments are concerned.

Any help out there for an AC luddite?
Dont know if this will work but try calling AC numbers in another country i.e. not US/Canada. You may get thru faster.
