Bummer, I waitlisted via phone in OCT 2018 and nothing has changed ever since. It still shows waitlisted Business (U). Check-in opens in 18 hours (ORD-HEL). Let's hope for the best at check in.

Was there a change of rules on using upgrade voucher for someone else than a family member? Was it totally OK now? Need to go through CS to change 4SH to 1LH before the request, so preparing for difficult questions...

No difficult questions. But if they are not in a booking with you, you should be able to provide information like email address or phone number connected with them.

I reached gold on a morning flight. Then I had 2 more connecting flights during that day. I didn't receive gold bonus points from those but got points according to silver level. I naturally thought that this is just a mistake and contacted cs. But now I got a reply that cos it's the same day, I only get silver points. The way the message was written though, doesn't seem very legit: "Koska korotus ei tapahdu välttämättä suoraan keskellä päivää, lasketaan 23.4 olevat lennot vielä Silver-bonusten mukaisesti."
Is this right or should I question it once more? It's only 125 points but those could become important at some point.

Finding it very difficult to get to YYC from SIN on AY/BA in Dec (BA's LHR-YYC route is currently suspended during the winter months). Does anyone know if AY is willing to interline baggage on separate tickets to AC? I am wondering if it's doable to combine a SIN-HEL-LHR ticket on AY with LHR-YYC ticket on AC. AY arrives LHR terminal 3 at 0910h and AC departs 1325h from terminal 2 so a connection of just over 4h. Doesn't sound too tight as long as I don't have to clear immigration and recheck baggage.
Alternatively, there is also the option of connecting to YYC on AC via FRA which is also a similar connection of 4h.

Is 4hrs really sufficient? The lines can be really long at LHR and I will have to pick up my luggage at T3 and find my way landside to T2 to recheck baggage and clear immigration again. Would doing this at FRA be better than LHR?

How are AY+ points calculated for the 2000-series charter flights nowadays? It used to be 2000/3000/4000 flat rate points for short/mid/longhaul return flights. But now I can't find anything on the website.
