How to Get a Free Airline Upgrade on Your Flight - Fly First or Business Class

Everyone wants to purchase an affordable economy class ticket and get moved up and upgraded to business class or first class.
Who does not want more privacy, more legroom, better service and the lounge exposure which come as standard for first and business class passengers.
The current generation of flat seats in premium cabins means long haul flights are ever more enjoyable.
Every so often airlines will present available upgrades for operational convenience.
Here are a couple of basic tips for growing your chances of getting that elusive upgrade and rubbing shoulders with the first class jet-set.
1.
Enrol as a member of your airline's regular flyer program.
If you can reach 'elite status' then you will highly improve your likelihood of getting upgraded if there is any availability on the day you fly.
Airlines will supply upgrade priority to their greatest-tier members.
2.
Do not go flying from your carrier's primary hub if it is a large airport.
You will be competing against masses of common flyer members so your chance of an available upgrade is minimal.
3.
Try choosing one of the smaller airline regular flyer packages with fewer members to cut down competition.
If you decide to go with a less popular airline, the chances of you being able to get upgraded are greatly increased due to there being less competition.
4.
Book a flight that is likely to have a full economy portion.
Try to fly on aircraft like the Boeing 747 with lots of first class and business class seats.
A few days before your flight, make sure of the availability of business and first class seats by doing a pretend booking on your airline's website or use one of the class availability tools on the web.
5.
Pay for a full fare economy or premium economy ticket on your flight, enabling the upgrade priority from the airline.
6.
There is no harm in dressing well in 'smart casual' or business attire on the off-possibility you are pre-upgraded and the airline is happy you will blend into its premium cabin.
7.
If you truly are serious about flying in business class on a budget then you should seek authoritative insider information that will allow you to take advantage of the large number of loopholes available in the flight sector.
