Scoring a free business class upgrade is pretty unheard of these days. Seems like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or winning the lotterty is more likely. Especially since airlines encourage frequent flyers to upgrade using their points if the seats haven’t already been sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, it would seem that getting upgraded at the airport checkin counter is a thing of the past. Or just something that happens in movies. Or is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As someone who has always dreamed of scoring the ever elusive upgrade. I have heard and read all the “tips” on how you can help make this happen –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n– Be a frequent flyer member \n– Be loyal to the one airline \n– Dress to impress \n– Arrive early \n– Be nice to airline staff \n– Blah, blah, blah<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it all seems like alot of it is up to chance and pure luck. So with all the above in mind, I just made peace with the fact that the only way I would be flying business class is when I have enough points in my kitty to make a successful bid on an upgrade prior to flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, when we least expected it, we were bestowed with the honour of the free business class upgrade!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
