That would not result in a message telling him he has to be within the four days window.

Looks like he booked a Tango plus, not a Latitude.

Will he get the upgrade?
 
My husband has booked himself and his mother on AC575 on November 8 (YUL-LAS). She has a confirmed upgrade (he smartly attempted hers first) but he is wait listed.

Can someone with EF or KVS and a warm heart take a look and see if he has any hope of getting the upgrade? (Elite status only) ... No more J seats for sale at aircanada.com, so my gut is saying no!

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

You can!

Use the free "flight availability" tool on flightstats.com. R will indicate the number of seats available for upgrade, and J will indicate the total number of business class seats available.

Hope this helps you now and in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion! Oddly, it shows R1 and J1 right now -- maybe it doesn't have instant updates, and my mother in law actually grabbed that last seat?

In case you didn't do this yourself yet, there is very little chance at this point for a waitlisted person since J=0 on AC575. J=5 and R=2 for AC595 12 hours however.

Crud, that's what I was afraid of. They can't switch to the later flight, so now I just need to find all the people who are booked into J and convince them of the merits of traveling to anywhere else instead. :p

Just to pick a nit, 'instant' in your case means once you had your booking confirmed, you were able to go back online and request the upgrade; as R was available, you were able to confirm the upgrade and choose a seat in J cabin. The word 'instant' that seems to confuse folks is that it implies no further action upon booking Latitude. Which is not the case. Going from 'available for upgrade' to 'upgraded' requires the self directed action.

All those people who are getting upgrades at the gate, are they people who requested upgrades through the website too? Do you always need to pre-register or whatever-you-call-it online to get an upgrade? Do all upgrades cost credits?

Sorry to be a pain, it's all so bloody confusing. I want to learn the ropes!
I'm with you! ... exact same boat (or plane ... whatever). I'm also having an interesting conversation over at the 'New eUpgrades are in!' thread.

Thanks to the various posters here; as someone new last year to the AC/Aeroplan program, but doing a lot of flying on AC and *A now, I've been wondering about all the permutations and combinations of upgrades on AC. Byzantine to newbies!

As my company invariably flys me in Biz, I gather its all a bit academic for me, but nice to know if I lash out and do a side trip on a lesser fare.

Can you request an eUpgrade if you book a flight using miles?
