      Also, I've never had any upgrades from eco to business but,
      One time, i won 2 return economy tickets to Japan and i embraced it and decided to travel.
      The flight was 2hours to reach Singapore only to transit to another plane and the transit time is 50minutes only, and that connecting plane decided to leave without some of us and it wasn't our faults because our flight was delayed and arrived late.
      So, the airline collected us who got left behind, apologised, and gave us complimentary hotels to stay the night while waiting for the Next Day plane.

    As someone who flies a lot I can tell you that this only works if you have a huge amount of miles. If an airline has free upgrades available, they go to the most loyal customers.
    If you are new in the airline program, that means you've never spent money on them and there is no reason to upgrade you :O)

      Hmmmm.... interesting but, as long as i could remember (before covid when i used to travel frequently), all eco seats were always full and the business stayed empty. Never in my life i got upgraded to business even when the seats were empty at front.
      But what i missed the most about flight regulation BeforeCovid was that, 20kg or 30kg luggage was Already included in the ticket price.
      Because since the end of 2022, they changed the regulation and we need to buy the luggage separately, and the luggage price is always 1:1 to the ticket pricing, so it's like buying 2 return tickets for one person.

      But it makes a HUGE difference if your trip takes 30 (or more) hours. I fly a lot between Japan and Brazil, and there's no direct flight so I need to take 2 or 3 flights to get to my destination. For instance, in December I will fly to Brazil to visit my family and I will firstly take a 12 hours flight to Dubai, then wait some hours in the airport and then finally take a 15 hours flight to Rio.
      It's insane how I get exhausted in Economy seats.

      That was to show you that you can manifest when you don't put a blockage or resistance or lack or limitation mindset. You can have a day like that every day using the law of attraction. Now that you know what it feels like take yourself back to how wonderful it felt and you will attract things like that more and more. It's all about the emotions which is energy in motion, when you shift into a higher frequency consistent mindset and consciously choose High vibrational thoughts, the universe must conspire to line up with you, because we are Just Energy frequency and vibration. I'm an intuitive and what that was telling me was that the Divine wants you to start manifesting better things and it wants you to start shifting your conscious thoughts..❤ the more you play with the universe, the more it shows up for you. It's just waiting for you to enjoy everything it's trying to offer you. The more you sit in the higher vibrational frequencies like this Joy gratefulness love and peace.... and create that within, it will show up easily and effortlessly

    Bulkhead seats are usually reserved for infants and their family. If you only register the membership a few months before the flight that makes you a base member. Airlines calculate passenger value scores...so....base member means....
    If you call and log whatever so called request, that would be in the reservations system (just a remark and doesn't mean anything )which crew wouldn't have access to. This is so silly and I can't believe I'm putting effort to leave a comment here 😂

  • @AyeCyberBeauGosse

    Many airlines now send emails to customers when economy class is oversold. This is an offer to upgrade for a fixed amount or to put in a bid. Often, this offer is made at check in too. Frequent fliers are also encouraged to redeem their points. This way, the airline can maximize their revenue before handing out freebees to frequent fliers based on their fares and tiers. A well dressed customer is quite low in the pecking order. Trust me, there is not a lot that these airline staff have not come across already.

I am minding my own business waiting to board economy and someone will approach and ask if I would like to be bumped up. I honestly think it’s just good luck. I do always dress very well to fly, probably more so than most around me but I’m not convinced that’s the reason. Perhaps my subconscious is willing it at this point. Lol.

    I've only been upgraded once to Business class because of my Frequent flyer status. I was so impressed with the business class that I pay to travel in Business on all intercontinental routes. Free lounge access grants you all the food you can eat, free WiFi and a completely relaxed lounge experience. On domestic flights in the US, it's economy all the way. I generally use my frequent flyer status to access the business lounges stateside.

    I got upgraded to business class once. The reason? I booked 2 one way tickets and i had found a huge discounted offer for the first leg to upgrade from economy to business. That was my second ever trip with the airline. On the leg bag they called my name and upgraded me to business. That was back in 2010 😅

    I doubt that very much, it’s not up to the crew to upgrade, there isn’t much extra food onboard, business vs economy food, it isn’t possible to make bulkhead requests via the phone and then there is the pre calculated weight balancing.
    But the signing up it true, if the flight is overbooked, and few or no other members are onboard, you get the upgrade, that happened to a friend of mine.

      I'm flying a ton, have the highest status and got upgraded to Business for free once, because the plane was overbooked. A business ticket costs 5x the amount of Economy, they don't give that away if they don't have to unfortunately.
      You also can't trick them by just sitting in Business, because they have an iPad and check each Business guest in manually :D

      It takes a miracle, to get an upgrade. Leaving Bali, was delayed by 8 hrs, do to G20 and the arrival of airforce one.
      This meant an aircraft full, of tiered angry passengers, arrived in Singapore at 05:00am. Singapore airlines refused to give anybody available business class’s seats on other air carriers, not even the business class passengers from our flight. They tried to force everybody to stay over night at nasty hotel and fly on 24 hrs later on available economy seats, which several of us refused, so eventually flew via London and got home with 12 hour delay not the 30 they were offering us.
      So yes, they rather pay for a cheap hotel and a nasty meal, then upgrade anybody.

    Oh! You can actually ask for an upgrade. I was a check in staff for Qatar Airways and sometimes I used upgrade passengers when they requested for an upgrade but they have to be nice and polite also well dressed. But we can only upgrade passengers when economic class is overbooked, we upgrade gold and silver members first then well dressed passengers, sometimes I upgraded nice and well behaved passengers if I like them even though their dressing is okay. Actually this what all check in staffs do.
    So there is nothing wrong with asking for an upgrade. You always ask, and if the economy class is overbooked we try to upgrade the passengers who requested for upgrade, once the frequent flyers are upgraded, but just remember to dress up well and be nice with the check in staff.

BA do this as well in my experience as I was moved to business from economy the other week when the previously flight to the same destination was canceled. They haven’t purposely set out to provide free upgrades out of generosity, they have no choice but to move people. This has been known to go wrong when on busy flights every cabin class is overbooked and they’re asking people to stay over night in Dubai and get a coupon for a complimentary flight in future, in the case of emirates.

No. but we did experience to be upgraded in first class for free. How? being kind and charming takes you mostly everywhere. it's really up to the FA. if they like you and if their availability, they will upgrade you, and if they don't want you in their flight(like you are being difficult or rude) they can get you remove in the plane as well.

    I’ll say one thing, but this is very old (pre 9/11) advice.
    Get there late. Be the last to board, be very polite and low key.
    I was given first class seating on almost every flight after I was late one flying from Paris to Boston.
    It was a genuine Oopsie, and I apologized profusely, they sat me in a relatively empty first class and said they’d move me later.
    Whey later came the attendant said “you’ve been very calm and quiet, if you’d like to stay just keep being you”.
    I got all the goodies too!
    It was very nice.
    I booked first class a couple times after that, I never fly first domestically, that’s silly, I mostly went from NYC to the Midwest and these are short trips, but anything overseas, more than 6 hours I’d shoot for first.
    And I started noticing that friendliness, plain old common decency really made a difference.
    I stopped booking first and would not be LATE LATE, but the last to board and I’d ask how their day was, and it was almost 100% success with getting seated up front.
    Since 9/11 it’s really hard to get there late or just walk on 😂
    However, I have gotten seated up front for being helpful with other flyers and so long as you don’t expect it even getting seated up front a few times is a major coup!
    And always always show extreme gratitude!! Also, lay low, don’t be obnoxious about it.
    Stick with your fave airline too, they give lots of perks.
    Delta is my favorite domestically, Singapore is just perfect (and I’ve always paid for first with them) and Emirates is a crapshoot.
    But, so long as you don’t fly a crap airline you’ll have a decent seat and great service regardless.
    And if you don’t want to pay for first business is still a very nice boost from coach.
