Would I be able to switch it to a business flight from YVR to YYC since my whole itinerary is on a F aeroplan fare? (i.e. Switch YQF to YYC on Y -> YVR to YYC on J)
I will probably call in to change it and pay the small fee, but just wanted to see if you or anyone here knew the answer before I wait like 99 years on hold...  |

As long as there is space you can switch it.

Well, it's official! BA A380 to YVR.

Which gate at YVR is A380 capable?
Wonder if QF is coming too with an A380 since they freed up LAX-SYD to AA

So I was checking BA and off-peak May flights YVR-LHR is pretty reasonable in Y.
Only 16250Avios one way but $215 extortionist YQ.
But don't look for J unless you have AA miles :O

Lol, just volunteered for next flight at YYC. Sure Air Canada, I'll take my $800, free hotel, free dinner, and free breakfast 
I also got this AC overnight kit, not a bad kit...
Anyone ever use these travel vouchers before? Easy to use or a complete pain?

I've used an eMCO before.
Some stipulations in case you did not read the brochure properly:
1. The voucher only covers the base fare.
2. You're on the hook for the difference of the flight and all taxes.
There are several ways to use the eMCO. The best and fastest way is to call in to reservations or visiting the ticket sales desk at your nearest airport.
There are other ways to use the eMCO, but not very convenient. The worst is - You can't use it for bookings on AirCanada.com. 
Sometimes, free has its catches. If you travel often and know you will go somewhere, they're great. But for non-frequent fliers, it's a pain. You could have opted for cash instead at the time of volunteering (but you knew that already.) 
I personally recommend using the eMCO towards a Flex, Latitude, or Business Class flight if you're into collecting qualifying miles. In the end, AC has the last laugh. Good luck on the voucher and use it wisely.

Yeah, FML. Fucking 777HD. I should have ponied up the extra cash and use my eUpgrade certs.
P.S. - Almost @ 50K Elite!

Not sure how easy it would be to upgrade AC007 (my guess is it wouldn't be).
The 777HD isn't TOOO bad. I've flown it on a full flight YVR - YYZ (although I was sitting in PY, I did scope out the Y seats pretty good). I think you'll be fine, the guys on FT often like to make things sound worse than they are because the DYKWIA attitude runs rampant over there with a lot of the guys who responded to you.
Honestly my best advice to you is pick an aisle seat and pick one as far forward as possible so you can deplane earlier. Remember, you got a great deal on the ticket and during the flight you can keep asking yourself is a CX fare is worth double what you paid.

That is true.
You probably saw my post on FT but I have been on the 77W from YVR/YYZ and it isn't so bad, but I'm not sure if I can endure a 13 hour flight to HKG.
And yes, the fare I paid was awesome.

You could also pay the $120 each way and upgrade to a preferred seat if you are concerned. Your "cheap" fare will now be an "average" fare but at least you can enjoy the extra space!
