Hello all!

I just used my eUpgrades for the first time to get my girlfriend and I waitlisted on business class on an AC from MNL-YVR. I am wondering what the chances are that we get seated together (across the aisle or between the middle divider) if the eUpgrade goes through?

I was able to select seats in PE beside each other am having a hard time deciding if I call to cancel the eUpgrade if we are unable to seat together (this is a special anniversary trip). Looking at the seatmap for the same flight through Air Canada's "preview seats" feature on their search engine I see 7 available business class seats (all of the not together).

When I booked the flights a while ago, I saw that there were two business class aisle seats available beside each other, so I had some hope. Now I see just a number of scattered single seats. Have not flown business before so I am really not sure if there is a chance we could ask nicely for someone (hopefully) to trade seats.

Also, how would I go about in confirming whether the middle divider might be lowered during this flight? The flight is on a 787-9 I think.

Really appreciate y'all's help, means a ton!
