Oh well.

Looking for a YUL-FRA flight on Aug 15 to upgrade myself and a friend (preferably using SWU). On KVS, I found:
AC 874 YUL 17:15 FRA 06:30 +1 763 0 J9 C2 Y9 M9 B9 H9 V9 Q9 L9 I2
AC 834 YUL 19:40 FRA 08:55 +1 763 0 J9 C0 Y9 M9 B9 H9 V9 Q9 L9 I0
Does this mean there is no use in purchasing M fare on the later flight since I0 and I wont be able to upgrade in advance?

Thanks Andrew! I was told Tuesdays are best for upgrade availability but I guess I will wait a little longer to finalize the dates (I can fly Sundays or Tuesdays to connect to JED on LH) .. oh if not for the eagerness to book months in advance

BlondeBomber's Star Cross Earning Chart
is a place to start (shows earning across programs on most Star carriers in most Star ff programs). If you see any discrepancies or anything that needs updating, let me know . . .

No miles in C class?!!
I was shocked 6 weeks after sending in the ticket and boarding pass for an AC operated flight ZRH-YYZ in C class FEB7 to have them all sent back to me stating that because the ticket was purchased as a LX codeshare before APR1 I am not entitled to any miles!
The Swiss agent confirmed to me when buying the ticket (JED-ZRH-YYZ-YOW) that they were partners with *A (which I later learned was a mistake as they were only with miles and more at the time). Still, my belief was that I would get credit for the ZRH-YYZ portion on AC metal..
please inform me who to contact about this if the AE agent is in the wrong. thanx.
