We were in PE and watched the SD op up 4 PE customers. Her selection process seemed quite random with only one person coming forward from Y to replace the exiting PE passengers. Interestingly, I asked at check in about the possibilities for upgrades and I was told the flight was full.
We found the 789 to be a great ride. Got off the about 14 hour flight feeling better than any previous super long haul flight that we have taken.
Was it at the gate? or in the air?
I have had (often on AC33 ex-YYZ) the agent come to me after boarding and I'm in my Y seat to move me up to J because of a no-show or a missconnect when I had requested an eup.
