UA Premier benefits on AC operated flights
I'll be flying from San Francisco to Montreal next week which means flying an Air Canada code share. As a Mileage Plus Lifetime Gold member I'm wondering if anyone here can suggest a way to get Air Canada's equivalent of an Economy Plus seat. If I book with UA, I don't have access to the seating plan and if I book with AC, they don't recognize my Gold status. I really don't want a middle seat. Is this a solvable problem?
Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks. -Dan |

There are some preferred seats but there is no access for UA elites (although a few have been successful asking at the gate). |

Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks. -Dan Just check-in with an agent at the *G/Elite check-in desk and ask for a new seat towards the front - the nomenclature I use is "do you have any seats for *G at further up?" I've had a couple YYZ agents say I needed to pay, but a quick reminder that *G does not (at check-in) or a request for a supervisor to clarify took care of it. It's really nothing to be anxious about - AC service in the front of the cabin is just as bad and ornery as the service in the back. Also take careful note of your departure gate - if you get lucky, you leave from the G gates and can use the UC or the SQ lounge if open, but if you get the A gates, you'll be sent to the AF lounge (unless it recently changed) which serves, at that hour, basically nothing. |

I could not find the *G waiver on ACs site. I was 1 for 2 in asking at the gate...though the time I was denied it was a pretty full flight.

The AF lounge does serve champagne, even in the morning. :)

AC does not have an equivalent to E+.

With Star Alliance, booking a codeshare is almost always a bad idea. The only possible benefit is that it may be cheaper - everything else about it is worse.

There will be 3 on our PNR two of us are 1k. LAX-YVR. Will we get any free checked bags?
|
I'm traveling on AC in march and my research says yes you can have 3 but double check

3x70lb bags for all Star Alliance Gold members on Air Canada. Applies to each *G member but no one else on the PNR.
