Hi All
We we are traveling to Israel at the end of the month, and we are both in J, , my wife has a P fare , and I have an R fare , because I used my E upgrades, the criteria on the Air Canada page regarding the Signature Lounge indicates that no upgrade tickets are eligible for entry, do you think they are that sticky about this if we go in together?

I used this "Suite" for the first time last week. While the food and service was good, by the time Ieft the dinning room was full and new arrivals only had the buffet option. I think if people cannot get the full service this may backfire.

When I was there, you could order from the dining menu regardless of where you were sitting.

Hi All,
I'll be flying LGA-YYZ-PVG in J soon. I really look forward to the signature suite. My layover in YYZ is ~3.5 hrs. Is that enough time to go through security/border and enjoy the a la carte dining in the suite? I've heard about frequent delays on LGA-YYZ. My flight is AC703 at 730am, not sure if that makes a difference. Based on flightaware it's had a pretty good on time record at least recently.
A side question, do most people just stay in the suite or do you go to the maple leaf lounge afterwards?
I'm very excited since this is my first all biz itinerary and my first reverse herringbone seat.
thx!

Turns out I was right. You can buy MLL access on Premium Rouge in advance (not day of according to ac.com).

Intercontinental Premium rouge is marketed and sold as PY, which does not entitled you to any lounge access.

Does anyone have experience with access to SSL on a mixed fare class tx? Outbound TATL in revenue J from YYZ but return in PE with upgrade to J. Those kinds of tx always say rules of the most restricted fare apply. Most restricted fare is J portion of the tx (P).
Assuming access will be granted but still wondering.

No different than if my outbound, notwithstanding status, I purchased a Latitude fare and the return a Standard fare. I am still allowed free seat selection on the outbound regardless of my return.

Such tickets are constrained on changes, and do not affect lounge access rules.
