YYZ-MUC domestic 767 on select days in May
Just a quick heads-up that on a very limited number of days in May, YYZ-MUC will be operated by a domestic 767-200. In such cases, the flight will be run as a one class aircraft.
Those looking for J should obviously look for a different routing, while conversely those in Y may look to take advantage of the availability of front cabin seats.

How would AC assign the premium economy (which is essentially what domestic J is on a long haul flight) seats in these cases. By status, fare, or both? Status would be the easiest, but allowing your Y buyers (assuming they don't have status already) first crack would be sensible.

SE, E, and P were allowed to pre-assign seats. [My dad was P and secured a seat.] I am not sure about *S and *G.
Y (and M?) class pax were allowed to pre-assign seats in the front. I wad denied with a B fare.
Cheers

I can only talk from experience last year on the London - Toronto run:

Y (and M?) class pax were allowed to pre-assign seats in the front. I wad denied with a B fare.

I spoke to the S/E desk again. They told me that there was a J cabin (domestic config) on the aircraft but that they could not access the seats. They checked with a supervisor (or resource desk?) and were told that the cabin was "locked down" and they could not assign these seats. So, are they going to fly with an empty cabin?

Ooops my mistake - Sunday may 12th! I spoke with the S/E desk again tonight. They said the flight to Munich is allowing them to book these seats and they can do so on other flights in May but on this flight they cannot get access to the seats. They were going to talk to someone overnight and see what they can do. I am leaving today, so if you have any suggestions on who I could call it would be greatly appreciated.

You have it correct - it is indeed AC 847 on Sunday May 13, 2007.
Apparently several S/E agents have attempted to resolve this through some other department(s) but they are not getting any answers or resolution. It also appears that they may be a bit mixed up because I just received a telephone message from an agent informing me that although there were not able to get me in row 12 they were able to get me in row 13! Anything you can find out or do would be very much appreciated.
