15 Airplane Hacks to Upgrade Your Flying Experience for FREE

Have you tried any of these hacks to upgrade your flying experience?

The actual tip in here for a free upgrade to business is basically a miracle.

This may or may not be a hack!- Funny thing is, I didn’t know I was getting first class when I did it. The boarding crew called for 3 people to give up their seats 💺 in exchange for a voucher. Me my mom and sister waited until the voucher was at a decent price before we went over to the desk to volunteer. We walked up and stated we were interested in the offer and we agreed to give up our seats and get on the next plane that was leaving in about 5 hours. Well, we were given our new boarding passes and I noticed the seats were all low numbers. I got excited and said to my sister are we in first class now?? She investigated the boarding pass and sure enough we were!!! We thanked the ticket agent!! And he said because we were the only ppl to volunteer we helped a family stay together so they could 🧳 travel. You can use this trick if your flexible with your traveling like we were and negotiate for first class. We didn’t even ask for it and was given it out of the kindness of the booking agents heart at the gate 😊

Thank you for your tips! I have been bumped to first class by booking a last minute flight basically paying first class for economy to a flight to Mexico. I believe just being nice, pleasant and respectful to airline staff, it can go a long way. Will use these tips in the future. Thank YOU

I got an upgrade once for delta. I went to the gate agent and I said it’s totally okay if not but I was wondering if there were any free upgrades available? And they did it for free!! Made my day.

Great info, especially about the upgrades to 1st and business class. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing! I found your video very informative and practically doable. I have a few flights coming up. I will try some of the hacks you shared.

I love your videos and I've been a silent viewer but I feel sad on how underrated you are! I hope you shine once more!!! thanks for thiese vids!!

I hold a platinum status with American Airlines, usually every year because of regular travel for work. I can tell you that your trick to upgrade to business class or first class will NEVER happen, no matter how nice you dress up or how irresistible you make yourself to the agents, specially for busy routes where a lot of business travelers frequent. I am always on the list for an upgrade because of my status. And usually, even if I'm # 1, 2 or 3 on the list, I still don't get upgraded because there are always many more members that have a higher status than me. These business travelers spend lots of $$$$ week after week to fly to work. There is just absolutely no way a gate agent would bump someone with a high elite status just because a person who bought an economy ticket went up to ask for an upgrade, dressed nicely, spoke so eloquently and winked at the agent. Not going to happen!

Once i get past check in, i love the travel.

Thank you for sharing these tips! We're flying with a baby and toddler from YOW to SFO next week and have been using your videos as "study material" to prepare. You're reducing my stress quite a bit! I've been following for years, and always appreciate your content.

Omg, can’t wait to try these!!

Thank you. These principles are not just for air travel, but for life’s journey. 😀 Upgrades do happen. Never say never. Just be joyful, nicely dressed, look professional. Be kind, respectfully ask, and the universe (not just the gate agents) will give you, nay reward you with better options. Peace. 🙏🙏

The overnight flight discount does not exist for Trans-Atlantic. Those flights to Europe are the usual price because that's just how trans-Atlantic is. The majority of those flights leave in the evening (Depending on the route and if there are layovers). The earliest I can ever recall was like 5:00pm the latest was around 11:00pm. Plus, status and original ticket purchased get considered first over a random person showing up to the check-in desk and just asking.

Wonderful information. Thank you. You are the best.

A couple weeks ago I was flying Vancouver BC to Manila. When I was flying EVA Air. When I checked in I was bumped up to Premium Economy without even asking. It was a surprise and turned out to a nice comfortable flight. From now on I will book premium going forward.

Good video, I will tried your suggestion out. Thanks you 😊
