Now, I had 4 NAUs so, I called my travel agent this morning (I am Prestige) and asked about upgrades. Guess what? "No problem". So, I am sitting in 4K and 3C, respectively, Sunday. First time I have been upgraded!

Questions, if you don't mind sharing your knowledge and opinions, please.

First, food:

I know I get lounge access in YOW and YYZ, but any idea what is normally available for eats?

What can I expect to get on the plane? (AC 463 18:00 YOW-YYZ, and/or AC1157 20:40 YYZ-YEG.)

Or, should I get a smoked meat sandwich before I go through security in YOW?

Second, dress:

Usually, for a Sunday night flight, I would wear a golf shirt, black jeans and running shoes. How would that go over? Should wear slacks and my dress shoes instead? I don't want to offend anyone, unless they suggest a suit and tie.

I am excited about my first time, even though I have heard cattle class (the rest of my trip is in Tango Plus (Q, I think) - so little chance of upgrades) will feel rather dismal having tasted the good life.
Since this is your first trip through the system make sure that you get into the MLL in YYZ on your transfer. The same lounge pass you present in YOW should work for the lounge in YYZ. Just get the YOW receptionist to mark on your YEG BP that a pass has been collected.

The T1 MLL is one of the flagships in the AC MLL system. Although the food and drink is the same, the ambiance is clearly a cut above the rest.

Enjoy!!
