If you are looking to upgrade your seat to premium economy on an Air Canada flight, it is possible to do so under certain conditions.

Firstly, you will need to have purchased a regular economy fare. If you have purchased a basic economy fare, you will not be able to upgrade your seat. Additionally, you will need to have a valid booking reference number.

You can upgrade your seat on an Air Canada flight either online, through the Air Canada app, or by contacting Air Canada Reservations. If you have booked through a travel agent, you will need to contact them to upgrade your seat.

The cost of upgrading your seat to premium economy will vary depending on a number of factors including the route, the date of travel, and availability. Air Canada also offers the option of bidding for an upgrade through their Upgrade Auction program. This program allows you to place a bid for an upgrade and if your bid is accepted, you will be upgraded to premium economy.

It is important to note that while Air Canada will do their best to accommodate your request, upgrading to premium economy is subject to availability. If there are no available seats in premium economy, you will not be able to upgrade your seat.

In summary, if you have purchased a regular economy fare and have a valid booking reference number, you can upgrade your seat to premium economy on an Air Canada flight. You can do this online, through the Air Canada app, or by contacting Air Canada Reservations. Upgrading to premium economy is subject to availability and the cost will vary depending on a number of factors.
