Upgrade on AC codeshare
Tried a search but did not find a clear answer
What is the policy on using SSWU on AC codeshare flights operated by another Star Alliance partner?
In specific I refer to YUL-ZRH on AC/Swiss?
Thanks

As soon as Swiss becomes a member of *A I could an SSWU it on an LX ticket when flying ZRH-YYZ right?

I want to fly YUL to ZRH and can by a ticket from AC.com with an AC number but it states operated by Swiss Airways, so that makes it difficult!

That sucks..was hoping to upgrade on the YUL-ZRH. Back to the drawing board.

This topic has been asked many times on this board, FYI. I do agree that the FT search engine sucks ars though.

If it's NOT AC metal, you can't use an Air Canada Upgrade Certificate of any kind.
If it's AC metal but not AC stock, then it's upgrade at the gate for the AC flight.
If it's AC metal and AC stock, you can upgrade per normal procedures.
So to your answer, if your LX ticket has AC metal on it, then you can upgrade at the gate for the AC metal flights ONLY.
