Looks like 01:00z on 19NOV19 until ~ 18:00z on 19NOV19 no bookings can be made through Air Canada. AC suggests contacting a Travel Agent for immediately bookings during this time, but I don't know how a TA can book immediately on AC, but an AC Agent cannot.

The eUpgrade change is annoying. We have a family trip to Hawaii for Christmas, and we specifically booked Flex for the possibility of an eUpgrade. Since the E50K in my family lives elsewhere, he's on a different reservation, which means the upgrade would need to be requested at the airport... Which is no longer possible. Had we had this information at booking time, we would not have spent an extra $100 on Flex over Standard

No, you can upgrade a traveling companion on a different PNR on the day of departure at the airport in addition to a traveling companion on the same PNR whenever the window opens

I knew of the latter of course, but the separate PNR at the airport is not something I was aware of.
Anywho, we should get back to the discussion on the move to Amadeus, or we might have our posts shifted to one of the eUpgrade threads lol

Never been successful and the cabin is always sold out with I'm assuming early booked reward tickets and paid J

Dotted line related, if anyone relies on TripIt, they have decided to do an update (outage) on top of the Amadeus transition Nov 19 - 11-2pm PST.

OGG yes. Never tried to NHL. This is before the list was public, but I can't imagine that you would pull this off as less than SE.

Unexpected eup cleared
I'm wondering if AC is proactively clearing some wait listed upgrades this weekend.
I was wait listed fot a wide body YVR-YYZ for Thursday. Even though I was in PE lowest, as an E50, and J6, R0 I was expecting this not to clear in advance, and with the recent news, not at the gate either. So very surprised (and pleased) to get notification that it had cleared just now.
Let's see if my other 2 November flights also clear. Does anyone else have data to add?
