Assume you mean the first leg into YYZ? Seem to be 6 unbooked seats, does seem odd unless they are planning to change aircraft.

I don't see you having any issues getting it that said!

No, actually last leg out of YYZ to YYC (maybe that has something to do with it...it is coming from YYT? But, yeah, it seems odd....I am still puzzled why the wait list. Thanks for the response.

If there's R space and the useless IT system hasn't automatically cleared you off the waitlist, just unrequest the upgrade and request it again and you should be cleared instantly. (Or call an agent to deal with it)

Did you request it through OLCI, or services.aircanada.com/eupgweb/selfservice/eupgrade/ ?

Only the latter will clear you into R space at time of request.

That was my mistake. I did it through OLCI because at the time I was also in the process of checking in so the self service would not let me do it. I just continued via OLCI. I called an agent and they could not figure it out. I talked to two agents last night. No help.

I can't seem to reverse this and have it clear.

Can I cancel my check in, go to self serve, upgrade, and then check back in???

Even after canceling check in, I seem to be stuck in some sort of IT limbo:

Cancel check-in, request on eupgrade site, and check-in again.

I agree - I did this yesterday and cleared a business class upgrade on AC34 YVR-YYZ that I probably would not have cleared at the gate.

I looked at 157 earlier, the YYZ YYC upgrade list was empty ... no-one was waitlisted.

Now shows two people, one passed one waitlisted. I won't post names here in case you don't want that ... though obviously it's viewable for a few hours. And one reminds me of Mr Cow

Can I confirm an upgrade into Premium Economy and then get on the waitlist for Biz class? I don't want to miss the prem econ upgrade if biz class doesnt clear. Any thoughts?

I've always been told it's "either or" which is huge PITA.

Quick question on eupgrades to Hawaii:

1) Is Hawaii considered US or a "Sun Destination"
2) If I'm routing HNL-YVR-YYZ, would the 10 upgrade credits cover the entire journey or would I need to apply both flights separately?

Thanks!
