So is there any AC route that is affected?
Only people traveling from Asia to South America on AC perhaps? Anyway, what would be the rationale/motivation for them to introduce this category? |

Try again.
getaround is correct in terms of the distance from LHR-SYD. |

Hasn't this all been discussed before? I already knew all this.
It's also going to be interesting to see how they deal with instant status recognition and the Select Privileges at the various levels. Someone starting the year as a P could amass quite a store of upgrade credits if they reach SE during the year, passing through E35, E50, E75. |

Makes sense. How vindictive of them to introduce this to get even with half a dozen nutcases who would fly LHR-SYD on AC though Canada...
Doing it next month, but not on eUpgrade. Trust me, there is a good reason :) |

That's geographically correct, but not the way AC calculates the miles.
http://www.gcmap.com/dist?P=SYD-lhr 10573 In all of this thread, I'm surprised that nobody thought to look up the details on the AC website. https://services.aircanada.com/eupgw...vice/eupgrade/ by selecting on the link "How many eUpgrade Credits are required to upgrade?" and entering LHR and SYD people can easily find out directly from the AC website that the eUpgrade mileage is 10,538 miles. This is regardless of actual routing/connections taken. |

Well, all of you are wrong, but tinchote is the most correct.
