Refund on seat selection fee if using eUpgrade
I have an AE economy award on a 777 in August, YYZ-YVR. I am considering purchasing a seat in the PE "cabin" (albeit no enhanced service on this domestic transcon) but could also use my eUpgrades to get a J pod with-in 24 hours of travel (with a $300 copay). If I go ahead and purchase the PE seat ($123) and at OLCI decide to copay for the upgrade to J, will the PE seat fee be refunded? Is the seat fee normally refunded when purchasing a LMU which if offered, may be the same price as the eUpgrade copay?
