This is great. Had awards booked with UA miles and Aeroplan, both allowed for free bulkhead/exit/preferred selection, whereas previously it was costing $$.
Also, AC PNR is now same as LX/LH/LO on awards, ie. Amadeus.

It seems the inventory for AE booking has changed significantly.
I need a RT from YTO to YUL connecting onto TK to central asia next October.
Same availability was showing at 2pm today as yesterday - now the seats are all gone....
There are some odd YYZ-YUL in PE, and none for YTZ-YUL

Looks like a few other seating options have opened up as well. EG rows 4-6 used to be blocked for advance seat reservations on Q400 flights but are now selectable.

Foolishly I forgot to screenshot my dashboard. My AQD is now at $0 which I havent seen in months - hopefully just the same old problem. Id hate to have to back and find proof for the $40k spend.
On AC.com it tells me I have no bookings and there is no place to manually add one. My AE booking is in the app but I was hoping to use that trick up thread to add a bistro code.
I can no longer find a place to check how many eUp credits a particular flight would require. If you have a PNR it will tell you of course but theres no way to do investigation which sometimes helped me in deciding a fare basis to choose when purchasing.
Thats all I see for now as an issue but Ill keep looking.

Thankfully, I have a screenshot of my dashboard pre-Amadeus so I don't expect to have any issues. No change to status though, thankfully!

I pulled up some existing Aeroplan bookings that way. When I went the seat selection screen I saw the "promotion code" link. Try that!

I'm more than a little concerned about not getting an eUp from O class on a 14 hour flight with 12 seats open in J... Really bad timing on this.

Also seeing 0 AQDs. And still no vision on reservations (mid trip flying in 7 days). No sight on pending upgrade waitlist, eUps. Basically nada all around.

Why is the eUp site and so many Altitude features still out of commission? Shouldn't they be back online given that the first stage of the process is back online?
This is becoming more than just a small bump in the road for AC

Really? I am actually surprised that things are not more broken than they are right now.

"No way, that can't be right, you must be wrong"
Until I read him the email from the Altitude team...
