eUpgrade on a FLEX Ticket?

Hello,
I'm all new to eUpgrades. I bough an economy FLEX ticket from YUL to BRU. I have 25 eUpgrade certificates and should get 10 soon as just became Altitude Elite 35?

I tried to eUpgrade for my flight but it's telling me it's not available. Is it because I'm too in advance? And if so does anyone know when it opens up?

Also: does anyone know how many credits it would take to upgrade to premium economy or Business for my flight? Thanks!

21 credits one way AND $500 for economy to business
Not sure P25K can upgrade to premium economy though...

Thanks! I'm actually a Elite 35K, not 25K. Would that allow me to upgrade to Premium Eco? And does it requite $$$ on top of eCeritificates?

Didn't know there was $$ involved (and that much) to upgrade...

The other part of your question is the timing window. I believe it is 4 days in advance of travel for E35K.
In addition, on
https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...ng-window.html
it appears E35K can only eUp to PY from high flex (M, U).
I'm no longer an E35K expert but check the site for the rules.

Yep, you can’t upgrade to Premium Economy from flex unless M or U fare class. Otherwise it’s 21 Eups and $500 for business.

Thanks for the info. Very useful. Unfortunately I'm a FLEX V. So can't upgrade to Premier Economy. And if I want to upgrade to Business I have to shed $500. Not worth it for a flight to Europe.
