AC uses 2093 when calculating eUpgrade credits required, but give you 2078 when posting to Altitude. Try something closer to 5000 miles and you might see yourself getting the short end of the stick on both fronts: 26 eUp credits consumed and getting less than 5000 AQM.

Not at present. I heard a rumour one can now upfare via the website on an existing (online) booking but am not sure if that's only to say P or covering from low Flex to high Flex. Or copay Flex to non. I don't have a eligible booking I can test it on.
Calling in works of course. Assuming one can get thru and not be cut off.

Tango to Flex, Flex to Business, etc.
But there's no way to go Flex L to Flex G.

Hey @canadiancow, what about the 'deeplink' system you once posted?

So it looks like a semantics change that makes it less simple.
Anything labeled Tango requires copay, so no surprise there,
Anything labeled Flex but taking on former Tango fare classes (branded) requires copay.
Any Flex using pre-existing Flex classes remains status quo.
Amirite?

So if there's a Tango G, and you specify G, you're getting Tango, because it's cheaper.

Do the people in management positions at AC required to take "How to have contempt for your customers"? I understand they want to squeeze every penny out of people, but do they really have to get this ridiculous?
