Yeah I checked out ExpertFlyer but didn't realize you needed an account.

Which for me is always haha.

I'm also impressed the OP has recently gotten to 35k but will still hit 100k by year's end, there's only 4 months left to get 65,000 more AQM, 16,250 a month. That's a bit of a daunting task.

Looks wide open to me (at least at the moment), but don't you have to be E50K or higher to upgrade a TATL, unless in Y/B--in which case there is no copay?

Totally depends on your travel patterns, I'll get 11,200 AQM this long weekend just in Canada.

Yeah I'm E50K.

Am I correct in saying that E / N are showing no availability for Premium Economy?

That's better than my way; so far I have been wholly unsuccessful in redeeming them for extra lives in Contra.

The fact that I got your reference means I am an old bumfart. An old UUDDLRLRBAStart bumfart, that is.

O is PE (highest), if I'm not mistaken. Nothing in E or N.

Here's the latest on your flight

Appreciate that. Guess I'll just try my luck when the E-up window opens.

Does a free Expert Flyer account give you access to find out that information?

No, but it's only $4.99 US per month for the basic version. I consider it money well spent. Good luck with the upgrade!

I figure this is the most relevant thread - what do you guys think are the odds of en eUP clearing YUL-YVR right before new year's? Somewhere between 0 and 0.1%?

I think it's quite high. Like what date? December 25th to Jan 1st has been light for the last few years (WRT load)

30th, I'm surprised to hear though - I'd imagine it'd have a lot of people returning from visiting family from Christmas (like me, lol)
