Thats what I thought! I saw the cabin was J9C9D9Z8P6R3 and figured my chances were good, so I bid the lowest I could.....This may be part of the 'lower bid' for certain flights announced a while ago.

Good score!

I wish my upcoming flight YVR- LHR had a minimum that low - for me it's $920 from N to J/P. And that's with J9/C9/D9/Z9/P0/R7.

No 'lower bid' for me.

Same here, I'm flying the reverse LHR - YVR and for me the minimum bid is $1200 from U to Business Class

I've been monitoring an upcoming YVR-LHR flight which was offering a minimum bid from PY N to Business Class for $920. But today, 5 days before the flight, I now see the message that there is "no space available" on the bid site for the first time, at least for this flight.

Coincidentally (or not), this is the day that both Z and P availability went to zero on EF. The flight is still J9/C9/D9 and even R3, so I'm wondering if bid-up seats come from Z/P inventory.

Or maybe there's no rhyme or reason and it's just a coincidence after all.

I am tracking another flight with Z =1 and still get 'no space available'

And , as of today with exactly the same availability, the bid offer is once again available. I'm guessing it's AC IT rubbing off on whomever provides the upgrade bid backend service.

Is Prem Econ (class N) eligible for bid upgrade to business class?
 

hi,

booking a trip using aeroplan miles and wondering if anyone has had experience getting the upgrade email for a bid upgrade after booking a class N Prem second ticket on AC?

thanks

Why wait for an email?

Bid upgrades :

All A320:

YEG-YYZ $370-$920 Pass
YYZ-YEG $370-$920 Pass
YYC-YYZ $400-$950 Pass
YYZ-YYC $400-$950 Pass

E90 :

YYZ-GCM x 2 $220-$600 Put in at $220(4 of us in J already, no one else) , will use E Upgrade companion if not accepted
GCM-YYZ x 2 $220-$600 Put in at $220(4 of us in J already, no one else) , will use E Upgrade companion if not accepted

The YYZ-GCM at booking wanted $2500 one way for J, $5000 round trip extra. Would probably play up to $300 but $220 seems pretty good right now based on our loads.

U/H

YYZ-GCM-YYZ Aeroplan Market reward

EDIT: cancelled the $220 and put in at $300 each... only 3 seats suddenly now left in J +_+

Flight just went from J6 to J2 T-5... Assuming people E-Upgraded as R is still 1 and there was only full J fares left ($5000 now $7000 r/t LOL). UGH! It sucks that two of us have almost all our e eups but can't apply until day of departure for her.

2 more days until they start confirming bid upgrades. Hoping it works!

Have YYZ-HKG booked 10 days from now in PE, N fare
Minimum Bid to J is $810,

Using E-upgrade would be $750 plus 26 credits. and I have 75 credits expiring 2/28/2018 and 2 round trip Trans-Pacific flights booked in the next 2 months. First YYZ-HKG, 2nd YYZ-HND both departing YYZ on a Saturday and flying back on a Monday.

Thoughts?

I would check the loads in J just before the 72h bid deadline and decide at that moment.

Upgrade data points for YYZ-FRA
 

Flying YYZ-FRA in several weeks. Over 20+ J seats open. Any ideas on what a successful upgrade bid would be?

Thanks,
