As my previous few posts illustrate, the discrepancy between EF and Air Canada's availability seems to be happening more often.

Here's my latest experience:

AC756 on 3/22. EF shows: J9 C9 D9 Z6 P6 R0 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 G9 S4 T0 L0 A0 K0

I've tried multiple points of sale (US, Canada, Europe) and asked about further advancement (SFO-YYZ vs. SFO-YYZ-AMS), and multiple AC agents all insist they see nothing below D in all cases.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Mystery solved. This seems to be an AC issue (their internal systems aren't speaking to each other). Details here:

At first, he said 'yes' to #1 but 'no' to #2 , and insisted that I needed to clear my cache and cookies, blah blah. After much back and forth, he realized he was looking at Feb 22 instead of Mar 22. Then he confirmed he also see P space on AC.com called the NRD and got the upgrade confirmed in 2 minutes.

This is insane. No 'normal' customer should be expected to go to these lengths to receive something they're rightfully owed.

Thanks for all the help, [MENTION=759220]Adam Smith[/MENTION] and [MENTION=599574]canadiancow[/MENTION].
