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:

OuTRAGEOUS!
Last weekend on AA:
YUL-MIA $165 to C (a flight from heaven!)
MIA-YUL $ 135 to C (a very good flight)
And AA has 40" legroom on B737-500 in J/C, a hard wall divider (no nasty curtain), service with a smiles at all times on both flights, and even (cheap) sparkling wine. Have I found a new home?

My trusty spreadsheet shows me being 220 miles short of the new E50K level by year end. So tomorrow I am going on a mini mileage run to pad the account.
At T-24 hours OLCI (on T+ fare, of course):
YYC-YVR: $179
YVR-YEG: $179
Declined both segments. Hoping that AC will give "thanks" for my business and provide a surprise, complimentary UG. One can wish. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I'm guessing possibly time and travel constraints?
Due to my job, I can't do multi-days nor add a leg slightly away from my intended destination.

Oh and forgot to mention quality lounge time in both YYC and YVR and possibly YEG upon arrival, depending on how long my friends take leaving Edmonton.

Is there a price point that is "worth it" for LMU, say in price per mile? Is this a whole other thread?

The others are right: it comes to one's personal value towards the LMU.
It also depends on the type of seat in which I'm sitting; if I'm on a long overseas flight, stuck in the window or middle seat, then I'll definitely look into the LMU.
If I'm in a preferred seat for which I made the selection, then chances are I'll be content.
