So far all my intl upgrades as a SE in the last two years have cleared either at request or a T-2 to it will be my first time playing international Aerolotto.
Return on the CDGYUL already confirmed in R, in the new config. That should be interesting too...

Thanks. That's good to hear, especially since the flight is now showing J7 ^

I have an upcoming YYZ-YVR-SEA flight, which I booked on AC.com after searching for YYZ-SEA. (short connection in YVR.)
The upgrade window opens soon, so I was doing a quick check on upgrade availability today.
When I select "Display only fares eligible for upgrade" after searching for YYZ-SEA flights on AC.com, the YYZ-YVR segment is grayed out for my flight.
However, if I search only for YYZ-YVR on AC.com, the exact same flight is upgradable with a blue square next to it.
What does this mean?
Am I going to be able to upgrade the YYZ-YVR segment or not in this case?
This is a little confusing.

If it does not work on line, try phoning when the window opens.

Grrr, have been waiting a few days to book AC 858 (11:10pm) next Saturday. It's gone from R9 to R1 to R0 to R5 (last night) to R0 now (convienently just within the 7 day upgrade window) while J/C/D are all at 9.
Maybe I'm not going to miss SE March 1st after all

Another great example of the R games AC plays. Tonight AC033 suddenly is showing R=1 - so anyone on the waitlist can manually get the upgrade themselves online or call in and get the eupgrade by having an agent push it through, and obviously people on the list aren't getting processed. Someone can even buy a T+ ticket right now and immediately upgrade. Concierges say no eupgrades on that route for almost 2 weeks, has been overselling in both Y and J but to see R=1 right now a few hours before the flight is maddening!
Flying this route next week and hoping for an eupgrade so checking flightstats/EF regularly!

If I didn't have meetings tomorrow, I'd buy a ticket.
