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:

No LMU offered for tonight's AC146. Does that mean a better or worse chance at a possible op up?

Probably worse. If they need to upgrade someone, they'd probably rather take money than do it for free.

Upgrades offered for tomorrow.

YYT-YUL 13:40 - $166 Economy (b) - Business. Declined - Got seat 12a on a CRA. No point paying $166 for a few nuts.

YUL-CDG 20:55 - $901 Premium Economy (n) - Business. Declined.

For the record, I wouldn't take an upgrade on the Montreal Paris section however much it was. But $901 from PE on an HD. It has amused me!

Maybe they have decided to raise the LMU price above the $500 copay? That's a fare chunk of change.

$901.00 FROM PY to J? are they crazy? actually PY YUL-CDG is very doable since only a 6:45 min flight.

YYC > YWG May 2, OLCI T-24.

$119+tax. Tango Fare, el cheapo class A. Not horrible considering the cheap fare class and 2 hr flight - although it is AC Express on a CRA.

Might be tempted if it was just me - but declined as I'm with family, so added up.

J7R7, wide open.
