A new low for AC.
A friend of mine is going to CDG so I give him two SSWU and tell him you are not allowed to use these, but give it a try... if seats are empty they might upgrade you.
So off to the airport he goes... at check in the agent tells him" upgrades you will need to check at the gate...
He goes to the gate agent shows him the certificates and the agent tells him they can't be used. Here is what happens NEXT.

About 25 minutes later the same attendant and a security guard came over and said "We are not going to cause any trouble for you, but we may wish to confiscate those upgrade certificates. The friend who gave them to you should have known better than to give them to you. If we do confiscate them and send them in with VOID written across them your friend could lose privileges.
WHAT???? WHAT??? a new low for AC!
I just read the certificate.... nowhere does it say I can't give them away! It does say they can only be used for SE,E,P members....
OH the passenger is "One World" I told him to switch to "Star" so he just flew AC YYZ-EZE, AC YYZ-CDG, booked LH YYZ-CPT for March...[he would have made SE in 5 more months] so hes Elite in 3 months..... way to go AC scare another customer away!
Comments??? Was I wrong??
