So we can all get a handle on how they are going to work in the real world, how much they will cost, et c.
Post flight, date, route, original fare basis (T, T+, Lat, etc), and if known, seat inventory (i.e. J9, C7, Z5, I3). If you do upgrade, please also let us know how many empty J seats there were in the cabin, if any. And if you were considering a certificate upgrade, why or why you didn't opt for the LMU.
It would be helpful if this thread could be limited to "just the facts" and no discussion, which could be posted elsewhere. That should make this thread more useful for everyone.
Should anyone want to discuss LMU's further please post in this thread:

Original fare: X class on a business class Aeroplan redemption

As I'm entitled to be added to the onload list for free, I obviously declined.

AC 92, August 14, $845 CDN, colleague accepted. From PE, N fare
AC 93, August 22, $600 USD, colleague accepted. From PE, N fare
Both were extremely reasonable but mostly due to low load days.

Otherwise if it was actual inventory like from EF, you wouldn't be able to know this as it would only show J9... unless you have access to AC internal system info (which contains actual load of each cabin as "+/-")
