There does not seem to be an option to non-rev. Anyone out there smarter on this than I am?
You can do ZED tickets on Air Canada. My Wife and two kids did it last summer from ORD-YYZ visited Toronto and Niagra, YYZ-YUL more touring around and then YUL-ORD. Worked great.
If you go that route you can buy ZED coach fare tickets or ZED business fare tickets. The ZED coach aren't "eligible" for upgrade. Doesn't mean you won't get it, but you may not and you may see a plane leave without you with empty business seats
