Know in what way to Get Cheap Upgrades
Gone are the days of dressing elegantly and asking graciously for that business class upgrade. There are a couple of inventive ways to get reasonably priced business class upgrades on flights these days. One of them is to tender in a business class auction run by your airline. Some airlines sell off the residual business class seats a few days earlier than departure in a blind auction.
How does this work?
- Purchase your ticket in economy class
- Get emails from the airline informing you of the option to bid for a business class upgrade.
- If you do not receive an email, check on the airline website; there you will find a list of the airlines that offer to bid for business class upgrade and links to the related page on their website
- Choose the price you are eager to pay for the upgrade and place your bid; your credit card will not be charged unless you are successful in the bid
- You will be informed about 24 hours earlier than flying if your bid has been successful
