Flew home yesterday from PUJ - YUL - YVR - YCD.
On the first leg I was 1/2/3 on the upgrade list with three seats open. They started early boarding at T-60 without running the upgrade list...waited until about T-53 before it was run and got the upgrades. Family wanted to board but were more than happy to wait in order to get that upgrade. It was only Premium Rouge but free is free!
Off to Mexico in 3 weeks in paid J, thankfully don't have to watch the eUp list.
