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:

AC offers LMU to all Y passengers, which makes sense as they don't care who buys them as long as someone does.

Choices
We are not rich, however we do well, with a double income / no kids. We have enough material things gathering dust at home, and try to live a simple life. To us, life is more about experiences rather than just collecting stuff.
She puts up with a lot from me, my absences, my constantly rambling about collecting miles, my eccentricities. So to me surprising her with a nice day of travel is worth the price. (I am a sailor and I have a tendency to spend money foolishly, generally on wine, women and song) She didn't notice the upgrade until she passed security in Halifax.
Life is a balance of needs and wants. Everyone places a different value on a dollar. I did think that $849 was a little steep for domestic J, however to me, the surprised phone-call I got when she figured it out was worth it.

YHZ-YUL
$238!
After I stopping laughing, I declined.
Not too sure what fare it was as it was booked through Air Canada Vacations. I think G fare whatever that is?
Flight time is 1hr 30 minutes, at $238 for LMU that is $80 per 30 minutes of flight time.
As a comparision I flew YHZ-ORD on UA and got a LMU for $150.00 for a 3hr 40 min flight, or approx. $20 per half hour.

$159 + tax.
Declined.
The A320 was half empty, had the whole economy row to myself.
Aldo, it was a very good flight, one of the shortest ever on that route that I took - about 50-55 mins door to door.

If I gave her the option, she would have either refused it, or bought new shoes or other random material things.
