Empress -- I'd love to sit in J class but my understanding is that one needs to buy full Y to upgrade on transatlantic flights. And full Y is ~$3670 CDN, far more than what I or the conference organizers are willing to fork out! Not sure why you say "Upgradeable fare is not that far off from $700" -- am I missing something?[/B]</font>
What I meant was: If you're going to spend $700 to get WT+, you could buy a ticket for a SE to come along with you. Then the SE and you will just need to buy H class. The total of 2 H class is fairly close to the $1570 that you're going to pay for WT+. With 2 H class & the SE travelling, both will get J class, double points with the LHR promo and it help add to your Aeroplan balance.
