For many travelers, paying up to £5000 for a first class business ticket in order to fly in comfort simply isn't an option. However, what people don't realize is that most airlines will upgrade passengers for free, but only if they meet certain guidelines. These five top tips come direct from the check in staff of some of the best-known airlines. Tip Number 1: Look the part. Make sure you are wearing a smart dress code when you travel. There is no possibility of you getting a free upgrade if you are wearing something like a pair of shorts and a scruffy t-shirt. There is no need to go overboard though and wear a suit. You just need to look smart, but don't make it look like your trying to get upgraded. Tip Number 2: Turn up early. The check-in staff will know exactly how many passengers are going to be travelling on each flight well in advance, so if there are seats to spare in business class they will know right away. Tip Number 3: Be well-mannered. Would you reward a person who starts shouting at you and being unpleasant, or someone who is well-mannered? There may be 1000 more people in the queue behind you, so make you are remember-able. Flirt, smile, use their name, be polite, and you may well get a satisfying result. Tip Number 4: ASK. You will never get anything if you don't ask for it, but be sure to ask at the right time. If the check-in staff is looking worse for ware or just not responding to your attempts you make them smile, then you will have to wait till you get to the gate before asking. If the check-in staff has responded well, when they ask you if you have any specific seat request, be mischievously and declare 'First Class' to them. It might just work. |

Flights have a strange price scale, when they first come out they are cheap as chips but hour by hour of them being out, they creep up to extortionate prices. However when it comes to the last few seats on the airline, they hit rock bottom once again and become last minute flights. These become so cheap because the airlines are trying to book up all the last minute seats. |

Now flying is not just for the posh and rich, everyone and anyone can travel by air. In the past few years airline tickets have become cheaper and cheaper. Cheap flights make the world go round, that is really what they do now. If people didn’t fly around the world then countries economics would run dry. If we couldn’t afford to use air travel less of us would go aboard meaning that less people would come to the UK slowing down our tourism and giving us economic problems. Bad news is that cheap flights are creeping up slowly. This is because of government taxes and high fuel prices, this has already slowed down the amount of flyers this year. We at Cheap Airline Flights can only hope that prices don’t become too high or we’ll have to change our name! |
