Shared EUpgrades - lounge access?
Hi all,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question:
I have used my eupgrades to eupgrade a buddy with no status. so for YEG - YYZ he has an R ticket now, and a confirmed seat in executive cabin.
He can simply use his ticket to get into the MLL at YEG at YYZ correct? I know that eupgraded tickets retain the original details of the ticket (so status miles, etc. won't change) but a business ticket should get him departing MLL at YEG, and access to a lounge at YYZ correct? (He connects YEG-YYZ-CDG).
Just wondering if I have to send him along with any of my single use maple leaf lounge tix, or I can save those for someone else.
Thanks!

However, YMMV depending on the AC staff at the lounge whether he/she will enforce the rule, or will know the rule to enforce. Inconsistency is one of the signature features of flying AC.

On 3 occasions, I've had my bicycle checked for free (J perk) using eupgrades with no hassle.
Back when I was AC*P, during summer promotions, I would use upgrades not when I wanted to fly J, but when I wanted to bring 3 bags and could confirm my upgrade before check-in.
I guess AC is consistently inconsistent.

As AC is trying to squeeze us with Tango fare and much more expensive Tango fare, 50% Status Miles, etc., its employees are not collecting all the fees that they are supposed to be collecting.
