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:

You had to do it!!!!! Bunch of IT monkeys are working on changing the pricing algorithm because you are happy
. Can't have happy FFs 
It doesn't fit AP's business model. @:-) I think new more expensive LMUs are great. (
And it has nothing to do with the possibility that unsold LMUs might turn into seats for upgrades 
)

See AP monkeys??? Nothing to change, all is good. Charge more, if needed, for LMUs.
BTW Jasper, I enjoy your posts and have found them helpful. You are one of the good ones ^
. You must be the Anti-DYKWIA

And yes, of course, I´m an Anti-DYKWIA.*
*as long as I get exactly what I want and when I want it, of course, otherwise I obviously have a right to complain.

I think AC is yield managing the LMUs now..... In the past it was a set rate which then gets reviewed and changed, every period. Now it seems like they review the loads (along with the ecredits) and adjust the fares accordingly.

YYZ-YYC, T+ fare - $598!! Are they mad? Declined.
Paid it at $299. Once paid it at $349. That's the limit though.

If no-one paid for these perhaps the price would come down?
