Even Upgrade can be requested right the way but am I pretty much get the same chance as buying a lower class fare?

Thanks

Have you checked if there is upgrade space on AC163 to YVR to connect to AC7 to HKG instead?

You can also consider CX Premium Economy for about C$2,667 return all-in. YOW-YYZ code share operated by WS.

In April, my father in law with no status flying Tango class on a Tuesday flight was offered LMU for $1300 when he checked in online around T-20. The total cost was about $2000 (one way). It is more expensive than latitude and no guarantee but does not need eUG.

I would second this approach if you have the extra 6 hours to spare. It gives you the peace of mind that you won't be stuck in economy if your upgrade doesn't go through and you don't have LMUs - you'd still be in premium economy. Also, you earn more AQM - about 16,000 AQM. Could help you get up to "E35K" next year if that is a goal

YYZ-YVR would be booked in "B" class which is equivalent to latitude and you could probably do an instant eupgrade there using 2 eupgrade credits.
