YYZ-TLV no business class?
according to the "763" description:
http://www.aircanada.com/shared/en/c...7-300erxm.html
there are only economy and first classes on board. I was hoping to buy eco. and upgrade to biz. Isn't there any option to do that?
Thanks

Since you said 4 months from now, I checked in August and the discount business class fare (Z booking class) is LESS than the Latitude fare. (All in around $4300-4400)
The cheaper Tango Plus economy tickets are NOT upgradeable using miles.

In advance they would charge you fare difference + change fee.
At T-24, you might be offered a Last Minute Upgrade (LMU) at on-line check-in., subject to availability.
As for the price of that upgrade, I don't know the exact price, but would wager somewhere in the range of $700-900 each way.
Given that there is a lot of paid business class on this route, and that the 763 only has 23 seats in business (24 seats, but 1 would be reserved for crew rest), I wouldn't get your hopes up of a LMU being offered.

If you're connecting to the TLV flight from elsewhere you might consider calling AC and asking the agent to build you a ticket consisting of XXX-YYZ in Y, YYZ-TLV-YYZ in J(Z) and then YYZ-XXX in Y again.
I've done that from YUL and it's saved me anywhere from $800 to $1100. Minus the $25 fee for booking with a call center agent.

During off season I have had great luck upgrading my non status family members. During high season I would not wait until the discounted seats are all sold to purchase the upgrade.

Provided that the space is available. Traditionally this a very heavy full revenue J/C route. Four months in advance is not an accurate indicator. Many J/C bookings (regardless of destination) are last minute.
