I booked an Aeroplan ticket a few months ago on my fathers account using his points. He has E35K so I used a priority reward to book the flight. I noticed that until September 2019, it is possible to upgrade on an Aeroplan ticket! I do not have status so I was not expecting that I would be able to do it. Went on the eUpgrade site today, and it is letting me upgrade even though I do not have status! At first, I assumed that it thought my dad was the one travelling, but when checking in I had to pay for two checked bags so I was unfortunately mistaken.

The biz class cabin was full on the first flight so I just checked in without upgrading. Later, I realized that the biz class cabin on my next flight was nearly empty, and I could have upgraded! Wondering if I should try and get AC to refund my baggage fees and upgrade on that flight instead at the airport tomorrow? Or is this likely a glitch in the system? Would be nice to upgrade, but I am not going to risk messing up my flights if the agent thinks something is not right.
