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:

SEA YYZ T-24h
from Flex V $624.
J=1 now, R=0
Interestingly, eUpgrade option offered anyway, quoted 11 credits. At 2,000 miles, the chart says it should have been 10 for E50K.
Did not select either LMU or eUp waiting game. Have row 12.

Are you sure it's not Standard V? That would align with 11 credits and no co-pay.

YYZ-YVR. AC101 on 28th Sept. PE lowest to J. $315. Not bad but declined as I need to spend that on some nice scotch instead.

Nope. Receipt says Flex but I mis-remembered and it's Flex T and chart says 10+ add-on starting at 125. It didn't quote me any add-on.
I'm sure nobody's upgrading on it with J1 anyway.
Edit - interestingly the chart and the calculator have different information.

YYC-YYZ
AC 146 (E90) $1319
This was at OLCI about T-9 and the flight was J4. I was booked in flex...I think U but could have been M.

Declined. Couldn't eup either since this was booked the night before and ran afoul of the new eupgrade timing requirements.

i booked YYZ-YVR using United miles. What upgrade options would be available to me? Can I expect to see LMU at check-in?

You didn't think the chicken wrap was worth $568?

Four hundred, tops.

But seriously, empty row in Y isn't the end of the world.

Nope! I got a whole can of Diet Coke for free, though.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this was C-GFUR with a shiny new interior. The IFE is miles ahead of the old crap!

Can somebody remind me about the rules of getting upgrades on 016 stock?

I have a YOW - YYZ ticketed by United. I guess I cannot use eupgrades until the day of departure?

Ticket stock is irrelevant. You need an AC flight number to do it before check-in.
