MUC or CDG as an upgrade location for AC

Coming back on Monday OCt 1 - can route via either MUC or CDG. Flying Tango plus as a super elite. Home is YYZ

I was all set to go with MUC - about 50% empty J class - 333 but R0. As a super elite I thought my chances are good until I talked to the agent who said MUC is a bad place to upgrade from as there are a lot of last minute Latitude fare buyers. Is that true?

The CDG-YUL flight that day has 27/42 empty but it is 300 dollars more and requires me to transfer in YUL to YYZ. R=9 that day but of course it's early!

NOt sure what do do know after I talked to this agent. What are peoples thoughts on the better option??

As an Elite, I'm 10 on 10 upgrading YUL-CDG-YUL. I could not tell about MUC.

Is this out of your own pocket? I gather paying $300 for a CHANCE at upgrading is worth it to you?

My experiences out of Munich have not been good. Last time I was told at check-in that there were 5 empty spaces and I was high on the list, initially the same story at the gate, then they all miraculously disappeared

I've heard MUC is pretty bad. CDG has always given me good chances.

Lowly elite here ..... 4/4 upgrading a flight home from CDG (always B777), and 1/3 out of MUC (always B767). All flights were mid-week.
