I tried searching but I couldn't find anything - do UA Gold/*A Gold get any benefits aside from the official published *A Gold benefits when flying Air Canada?
I booked a flight back when I had no status on ua.com and advanced seat selection had a price - now I just checked again since there was a schedule change and suddenly all seat selection is free - even preferred seats. By now I have reached UA Gold.
Is this the exception or the norm, do UA Golds and/or all *A Gold get free advanced seat selection on AC flights? For reference, this is a Y flight YVR-EWR as part of a TATL trip.
EDIT: Nevermind - I was automatically assigned a seat and all seat changes show as "complimentary" when I look at the seatmap, but if I select a seat and confirm, the menu suddenly prompts me to pay for it. I'll chalk it down as AC IT error.
