The fare allowed bookings in G class on NH (PY) - even if you initially booked yourself in Y - you should be able rebook in G class on ANA if available

Right now I seem to be booked into Y on that flight. How would I go about rebooking into G? I'm assuming that AC would want to collect the fare difference?

They shouldnt, its involuntary. Call and say that this fare allowed booking into G on ANA, and you were not rebooked in it when the schedule change happened (check to make sure G is available to begin with)

Unfortunately I am seeing Y4G0 so the flight is totally packed.

G space just opened on one of my NH segments on one of bookings so I'm thinking of calling in to upgrade from Y to G.
I eUpped the over-ocean segment on AC and the flight is R0 and I'm expecting to lose my eUp when I do the Y->G upgrade on NH.
Not sure if anyone has experience with this, but will the change instantly restore R1 when I undo my eUpgrade? Or will there be a small delay? Or is it completely eaten up and I'll be at the mercy of the R space algorithm in the coming weeks?

Air Canada is operating from HKG to YVR in July. There have been a couple of schedule changes and the flight now departs at 10:15 am direct but with a stop in ICN to pick-up additional passengers. More likely the problem is your connecting flight from BKK to HKG as Cathay dropped most of it's flights when HKG shut down. They may open more flights facilitating a connection.
But if you have been rebooked via NRT then I would go with that option.

Maybe I just don't know the right thing to say to the agent
Interestingly enough, NRT - YYZ has positive R so the upgrade cleared right away. YYZ - YOW had R0 but it still cleared.
Does anybody know if NH has any way to bid for PE or a LMU like AC?

You can upgrade the NH segment with 10,000 United miles (or slightly more Asiana/Lifemiles). This should cost about USD200 via the accelerator to buy the miles, but would require I space, or a waitlist for I space.

You cannot, premier upgrade using plus points requires NH flight number. Same for star alliance upgrade, require marketing and operating carrier to be the same. You could try to ask for a cash upgrade at check in. I flew NH to NRT in Y and sat in exit row, the leg room was unlimited, I feel NH Y has extra recline vs other airlines. The service was great. Only downside is entertainment options is relatively limited (mostly catering to Japanese audience) but there is wifi at relatively affordable prices.

Has anyone been able to move the date of their ticket BKK->Canada by more than a few days? (they changed the itinerary because of HKG not available anymore .. so I figured I could ask for a date change?)
