Upgrade on an E90
 
I have a couple of flights YVR-SFO on E190.
During paper upgrades era, I would never waste a SSWU on a flight like this if I booked in Tango+. Now that it is only 3 credits and I have over 30 extra should I consider it?

I would. Basically you could upgrade YVR-SFO 10x and still have some left over.....

Why not.... What's holding you back?

Try and nab 1B, usualy always taken, but its a killer seat on an E90

You either need a winky face after that, or you made a typo. There is no 1B on an Air Canada E190. Seating is A, D, F in a 1 - 2 config. 3A is my favourite seat.

And...yes, OP, I would take an upgrade on that flight for 3 credits. Absolutely! :)

I guess just the old mentality of not using valuble certs on short hops for a seat which is almost identical to Y!
I took the upgrade now, all 9 seats are available.

Why 3A, doesn't it have limited recline as the wall is behind it?

Absolutely! We only have a month and a bit until 2011 credits are removed from our accounts. You will get a nice meal : )

Yes, you're right, the recline is less than 1A and 2A, but it's enough for me, I like that there's nobody behind me punching the IFE and I like the fact that it's a single seat (i.e. nobody beside me to disturb or to disturb me). YMMV.

As I didn't hit 80K and 100K until December my credits are good until 2013!

I will try 3A then, thanks for the tip.

Definitely worth 3 credits, but when the current promo expires it's back up to 6 credits, and not worth it IMO. This is a great route to have a flight pass on.

Always take the upgrade. :eek:Use em or lose em.

hearna Jan 4, 2012 7:10 am

I upgraded my flight today on E90 for 3 e-up's 1.5 hour flight and it's worth it.
But unable to get 1A.:td:
