eUpgrading with non AC segment
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything specific in the forums, nor on the AC site.
I am looking at an itinerary from LHR to SLC. As I'm 50K and the firm pays latitude, I am trying to stick to AC and use some e-ups.
However, when I input this itinerary on the AC site, the route comes up as LHR - YYZ - DEN - SLC. When I then say show fares for upgrade, it exits to the main screen saying "There are no remaining fares eligible for upgrade on your selected date(s). Please try an alternate date. (66012 - 10651)".
This has me confused. Does this mean I can't upgrade the AC segments from LHR - YYZ and YYZ - DEN? Everything I've read suggests I should be able to.
Thanks!

If you have a Y, B or O (PE Flexable) fare your ability to upgrade is based on there being a "P" fare available, OR if it's in North America or the Caribbean then it's based on there being a "Z" fare available.
It's fare to say (haha get the pun) that they are rewarding people who buy latitude or PE Flexible fares, as they should be, making it a lot easier for them to confirm an upgrade in advance.
