Yesterday AC112 YVR-YYZ I was #5 on a very long list, we boarded, no upgrade, too bad so i sat in 17H settled and then I see some guy in 13H get up grab his stuff and enter the J cabin, I said good for you and then as my phone buzzed that I was upgraded to PY, the gate agent came to me to move me into 13H, OK, it's freshly used seat, water bottle has not been opened dumped the can of juice that was this is better than 17H on a 777.

I bought a cheap flex fare and all of my flights to EZE are full, flew painfully in 27H to GRU and then onto EZE.
