Of course, most of the time you will end in your coach seat, but there are some ways to increase the Chance for upgrade. Here are some of things you could do to get your flight ticket upgrade:

  • Dress well: you will surprise, but the airlines company think about the image of the prestige departments. You will never get an upgrade dressing like a back packer.
  • Use your agent: especially when you fly a lot with the same agent. Tell him you want a flight upgrade and let him fight for you.
  • Aim for unpacked flights: usually the early morning flights, but you can check with your agent.
  • Get early to the check in: the early you get the better chance you have to get an upgrade.
  • Use the frequent flayer card: if  you are a frequent flier, you will get better chance to get an upgrade, especially if you collected a lot of frequent flier miles. You can remind it on the check in, in case they forgot your status.
  • Fly alone:  If you fly with kids, you will almost for sure won’t get upgrade. Any way  – the more passengers you are, the less your chance for upgrade.
  • Ask at the counter. If there is  a place, asking might do the trick.
