Do you often dream of flying in first class? We all do, but getting a flight upgrade without spending a penny sounds impossible. Well, unless you know how to do this.

Read further and find out what you can do to get an upgrade.

1. Travelling at a quiet time

During holiday business people are not as active as they usually are when they are not celebrating anything. Book a flight on a bank holiday since this is when business class is not fully occupied. The seats are vacant then and you might be lucky enough to get one.

2. Being loyal to your airline company

Another smart way to bag an upgrade is to become a member of the company’s loyalty plan. Even those from the lowest level are often rewarded. Have a card and use it at your will.
