Has anyone found an explanatin for the "add-on starting at $850" (for TPAC routes) / "add-on starting at $600" (TATL routes) yet?
Do add-on prices vary by country/destination or does the wording suggest dynamic pricing?

Anyone know the nature of the changes to fewer eupgrade credits on travel within Canada? I can't seem to see a difference as Flex is still 10 credits for flights of 1500 miles or more.

But now for each region it says "starting at..." which seems to suggest add-ons for upgrades from X and Tango fares are variable and/or dynamic within one region.

Two questions:
1. If I buy a preferred seat and get upgraded, do I get a refund of the seat fee?
2. If I am flying YOW-YYZ-YYC cheapest Tango do I pay $50 + $200 = $250 or is it just $200 (like what they do with the credits by reducing it to total itinerary mileage?) Thanks!

Under "Aeroplan (Fixed Mileage - X booking class) it says "26 (credits) + add-on starting at $850".
Doesn't this imply that the add-on pricing for booking class X within this particular market (Canada - Asia/Australia) is variable?

AC still (as noted previously in this thread before the official announcement) needs to update its eupgrade page within your account where it still says:
"An eUpgrade Add-on will not apply to:
upgrade requests made by Altitude Super Elite 100K members
upgrade requests to Premium Economy or Premium rouge
Altitude members travelling on a Latitude or Premium Economy (flexible) fare
travel within Canada, or between Canada and the United States or Sun destinations."
Obviously Tango fares "special" is an exception . . .

I'd rather just buy the P fare too:
Confirmed J seat
More AQM
Saves Eups for other routes (I.e. TPAC from PY)
Disclaimer: I early qualify for S100k soon.

Too much voodoo stuff going on. Who is going to administer all this "stuff" and then understand it as well at the gate or at check in???

As for miles, we all know and it has been spoken ad nauseum here that published miles are a few to a couple dozen miles off what is credited. LHR no exception!
