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:

The last few posts seem to indicate the fee + taxes. Here's my YYZ-HKG LMU:
Departure City: TORONTO-T1 YYZ
Destination City: HONG KONG HK HKG
Fee Breakdown:
Paid Upgrade AC015 YYZ-HKG - 899.00 CAD
Fee - 899.00 CAD
-----------------------------------------
Total (per passenger) - 899.00 CAD
Total - 899.00 CAD
There wasn't any HST charged to my card, so perhaps it's really $899-13%?

The 899 seems like a good price, given that YYC-LHR was going for $1400 a couple of posts ago
