I have some eups to burn too. 100+. And I'm going to be in Asia from the 17-26 which makes things even harder.
I'd like to make a quick trip to Germany, or CZ. Longer segments preferred (yyc-fra?)

Same boat as you. 100+ and will likely expire. I don't have the appetite to spend more money just to use them.

Hi folks:
I have 33 eupgrade credits expiring end of this month (February 28). I am open to going anywhere (2-3 days) as long as I can get upgraded with the lowest cpm. I am based in YOW for the next few months. Thoughts on where to go to use these upgrade credits?
Thanks, and look forward to your ideas!
PS. My nominee spot is gone, and my nominee is busy with other commitments for the next month.

Well if you happen to be going YOW-YUL Thursday morning first flight you can upgrade me
As already stated TPE is a good MR as I have done two TPE round trips in January already in PY. DXB in PY can be cheap as many americans from the eastern seaboard fly AC to DXB.
CHINA is cheap right now and to avoid the $150 VISA and disclosure of your personal information you are allowed 144 hour FREE transit VISA. Pay the $200 on Air China and go to ICN, TPE or HKG and then air canada home. I did this last October, cheap PY flights to PEK and home from ICN.
There are so many options and I am sure many here would love to accompany you for the upgrade option!!!!
Good luck, don't let those eupgrades go to waste!

So I got a confirmed upgrade to TPE and back this weekend. $1780 all in ex YYJ. Any better ideas? YYZ-HND looks wide open, but I can't get a cheap YVR/YYJ-YYZ-HND via the website.

A combination of selecting eupgrades for flight pass activities, using flight passes and flying in J or Y fares.

In 2018 I did almost all my flights on lat passes within NA that provide complimentary upgrades. I haven't even made It through the eups I earned in late 2017...

But if I had 33 remaining like the OP, I probably would've made some sort of functional MR out of it as well.
