Upgrades:
Complimentary upgrades are offered with the Latitude fare option only and are subject to availability of the Executive Class fare (J booking class), wherever offered;
Complimentary upgrades can only be requested and confirmed online between 24 hours and one (1) hour prior to the original flight departure time and cannot be processed at the airport;
Complimentary upgrades do not grant access to Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges, nor to any airport lounges;
Air Canada Top Tier upgrade certificates are also permitted, as per the terms and conditions on the certificate.
Thanks for that. I do see, though, that the upgrade now gets you lounge access. Which for most of us is a benefit that is worth absolutely nothing.
