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:

Lowest I've ever been offered was $889, but it's usually well north of $1000

Given that the price differential between executive lowest and flex on a booking I just looked up (with connection in YVR) is $984 going (and I'm flying direct), this should be my maximum but I'll hope for much less...*sigh* The differential on a direct flight was way higher.

27 June YVR LHR offered $1418 to upgrade to J from a W class fare. Declined.
My ticket is actually AKL YVR LHR LIS hence the W class segment: full point accrual but I can't use my e-upgrade points. T-4 hours and there's 2 open seats in J class. Suspect I won't be getting an op-up

LMU without being Aeroplan member
Is it possible to pay for a LMU at airport if you are not an AC Aeroplan member?
Flying SIN-HKG-YVR next week on an AC ticket booked by a US travel agent.
Ideally I would like to upgrade the HKG-YVR portion - but not sure how to do that as the SIN - HKG flight is operated by SQ.
Any ideas most welcome.
Thanks
Richard
