AC846 YYZ->MUC, $915 (E->J). Declined.
Sorely tempted though. When I checked seat plan earlier was showing 2 in Y, 6 in PY and 7 in J so I'm hoping for a status free aircraft that's overbooked by 7 people

I have a booking of YYZ-FRA-DXB-FRA-YYZ made with AC. Between YYZ and FRA it is AC metal and between FRA and DXB it is LH metal. The LH flights are code shares. If I am offered an LMU, would it only be on the AC flights?
Thanks.
Thanks.

A: At this time, only ticket purchases (base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges) and eUpgrade Add-ons will earn AQD. Any other purchases, including those listed above, as well as Last-Minute Paid Upgrades, Preferred seats and Air Canada Café, will not count towards your AQD balance. Furthermore, government-imposed taxes, fees and surcharges will not count towards your AQD balance.

Last minute upgrade - worth it?
Was offered an upgrade to business class for $125+TAX CAD for YYZ-BOS. Flight is in T-7days. Is this worth it? Would you expect it to get cheaper? Business class is wide open according to the agent.
