5 Easy Hacks to Score a Free First-Class Upgrade

Pick the Right Seat—It Could Get You Upgraded

Booking a seat in premium economy or near the front of the plane increases your chances of being upgraded.

Join Frequent Flyer Programs

Airline members and credit card holders get priority for free upgrades. Sign up for those rewards.

Fly When It's Less Crowded

Flights with lots of empty seats (mid-week, early mornings) have better chances of offering upgrades.

Ask Nicely & Be Polite

Being kind to gate agents can work wonders. A polite request, not a demand, may score you an upgrade.

Birthdays, Honeymoons & Anniversaries Can Help

Let the airline know you’re celebrating—sometimes, they upgrade passengers for a special touch.
