I've worked for Emirates for 13 years. And it doesn't work like that. However being well dress definitely increase your chances for an upgrade. However in Emirates, you get upgraded when your cabin is full based on the fare you pay for and secondly you status. Let's say you bought a flex fare in economy, you're on the top of the list but from flex fare passengers the company will start with platinum, gold, silver... It used to be based on status only but to be more fair between frequent flyers and money spent on a ticket. This policy was implemented in mid 2010's. Why airlines do upgrades? Because sometimes there is more demand in economy for example and maybe 10 seats are still available in business. Therefore, the airline will keep selling economy tickets until every single seats are occupied. Few days prior to the flight, you might received an email to upgrade on a specific sector at a discount rate. So the airline maximize the revenue and reduce free upgrades. All of this is based on Emirates and seems fair to me. Most airlines have a similar system but not all don't take it as a general rule. Hope it helps! 😊
Exactly, I flew from Miami to Delhi once via a connection flight at doha. They upgraded my flight from Doha to business and sold my economy seat to someone else. But I was still treated as a business class passenger. The seats were booked by my company. They generally book hundreds of tickets everyday for the off signing seafarers
Earlier this year, i flew from Manila to Houston with Emirates for the first time and wanted to try flying on an A380 premium economy. I paid around 1,500 dollars for this flight. Apparently there is no premium economy on my flight from Manila to Dubai with their plane boeing 777 therefore my category was economy flexi plus. Before boarding, my name was called and they’ve handed me a business class ticket for an upgrade. What a very nice surprise I said. I enjoyed my business class seat and all other additional things with it of course (foods and luxury personal kit). Then from Dubai to Houston they did not upgrade me anymore but still i enjoyed the premium economy seat of their A380 ( I didn’t have a seat mate 😊) which i paid for. All in all, for 1,500 dollars fare from Manila to Houston (with an overnight stay in an emirates sponsored hotel in Dubai with free hot breakfast buffet meal) it was truly worth it. And I wasn’t wearing anything fancy. Just a neat looking shirt and a comfortable pair of jeans. Good luck!
@@BottomlineBusinessPodcasthe wouldn’t have walked all the way through economy to the back of the plane to walk up the stairs, he would’ve used fwd/mid stairs. The whole video is BS. He didn’t get a free business class upgrade on emirates
@@ih8apple there is the upper and lower doors... The whole upper is first and business. I agree it doesn't work, just telling you that on this fleet your point is not valid.
@@BottomlineBusinessPodcast right… the whole upper is first and business, so if he showed economy seats he entered through the lower door which means he would’ve had to walk all the way way to the back to get upstairs. I think we’re splitting hairs here though and perhaps they way I’m explaining my thoughts is confusing even though we are thinking about the same thing. None of that is important. What is important is we both agree it doesn’t work lol
@@lavender8415 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.
My American Airlines flight upgraded me to first class and I didn’t have to do anything like he said in the video, just was an AAdvantage member on my first flight with them :) (Saying this to show it can happen, I guess if there’s no one of a higher status than you on the flight… it was domestic though so basically like premium or smth)
never in my life i could afford a business class. One day i was heading home with Emirates. It was a 9 hours flight. I was very happy that i found a discounted fare 2 weeks prior. At the gate my name was called up, went straight to the desk only to find out i’ve been upgraded to business class. I guess it was just my day 😊
Agree. I want to block this guy. We’re never getting those 45 seconds back. This might happen flying to some 3rd tier city at an unpopular time on a half full plane.
Naah…I’m a frequent flier and I’m definitely not buying it. I have learned to be content with what I can afford. If I can’t afford Business or First Class or a 5000 bucks guitar (I’m a musician), I go without it.
@@humanclay5577 You dont have to believe it lol, I only made this video because the 1 time I tried it, it worked for me. Now im a Platinum member so I dont do this anymore to get upgraded but this is how it all started 🤷♂️
They do if economy is overbooked and business isn’t, whoever is the highest tier in economy will be upgraded first, at the gate. I was EK gold years ago and flying economy Jakarta to Dubai I was upgraded to business more times than I actually sat in economy on all the flights I took, as they always overbooked economy on that leg. So it can happen, but won’t happen to someone who isn’t platinum/gold already I highly doubt
I’m Emirates Gold, and have been upgraded multiple times from economy to biz, and biz to first on flights that are full / overbooked. Never gotten an upgrade on flights that have seats vacant.
@@nadpor68 Regarding Emirates, a fee for bullhead seats had been implemented around 2019. Personally, I wouldn't recommend bulkhead seats. Your TV is in the armrest, therefore you can't lift the armrest if the seat next to you is empty. Regarding legroom, you can stretch your legs to the end of the seat in front of you but on bulkhead seats, if you have a wall in front of you, you cannot. The legroom is only better when seated by an exit. Airlines have their own policy, there isn't one rule that fits all. Being well dressed and kind is definitely a plus. The best trick to get an advantage is to offer a box of chocolates to the cabincrew when boarding the aircraft. They might give you an empty row if the load is light and will usually drop by to say thank you and ask you if you need anything. You might even get to choose your meal first. However, it depends if what happens on the flight. If the crew are busy dealing with medical case it unruly passengers, they might not have the time to take care of you. So don't blame them if it doesn't happen. Flights are often eventful.
Then don't try it, I'm Platinum now so don't need to do this but the first time I ever flew Business was literally from trying this out in 2017 and it worked, maybe it was dumb luck but I was a Blue member with zero miles at the time and had never gotten upgraded before that.
Emirates doesn't give complimentary upgrades for platinum either. If you're getting upgrades now it's because they are operational upgrades and you're at the top of the list after economy has been oversold.
You know what is rude? Trying to fool people! Rude and mean! This doesn’t work on EK or any other airline. “Register 2 months before your flight and call them” 😂😂😂
I’ve flown economy all my life. If I ever get an upgrade, cool. If not, i don’t really care. I just wanna reach my destination safely. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters to me.
That is just sad, even as a child I saw after the first two times that economy sucked hard and to always go for business or first class after my parents upgraded at the gate as a surprise.
Right, like they would give a no status person priority over one of their loyal Gold or higher - or whatever they call their levels - members. 30 years ago, perhaps?
I always dress up for flights. I've been upgraded twice on long-haul. Another nice move is to greet the flight attendants on entering the plane. They really appreciate being treated well. Thanking them on leaving is also a kindness.
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.
Without doing anything whatsoever I have been invited to board business about 8 times over the past 6 yrs. Ii have no explanation for this. They have all been US to London flights on different airlines. Also some domestic. east coast to LA. 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.
Yeah….no This day & age (I’m 63) flights are packed. FF who have premium status always get the upgrade. oh by the way , when traveling….comfort is king. I agree, being nice and polite never hurts any chance for potential upgrade or perk like a free drink in coach.
I've taken eight flights this year. Six of them were completely booked. First class and business class were always booked up. You have a good idea if there's extra room on the plane.
Dr. Honda take your time to react to anything that you think needs reacting to! I won’t mind if it takes until next year to get until the really good stuff. I’m enjoying everything you’re putting out about Sister Wives. Thank you again!
Other than signing up for the loyalty programme and dressing well nothing else will help get a free upgrade. If you are not polite, basically rude chances of you getting bumped off becomes high. Emirates upgrade is based on the Ticket fare and higher tier Skywards membership nothing else unless you are extremely lucky
I've never had any upgrades from eco to business but, One time, i won 2 return economy tickets to Japan and i took it and used it. When i got transit to change plane, 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. And the day i was about to go home, they messaged me about a change in the flight time and i said okay. And when i arrived at the airport for that changed timeline, i checked in and they said that the specific plane already left, and i was like Whhaaaattt? My companion was already complaining at me(not that it's ny fault), But luckily, the check-in lady was very kind and she decided to give me a complimentary tickets FOR FREE for us so that we could go home. I was like, so relieved and thanked her like so much and i waited to be called and depart. Wiuhhhhh, what an experience for me, that was, ngl.
I was traveling with a couple, and they were with me in the economy section. The plane wasn't full, and they asked if they could sleep in at first class. The flight attendant was polite and allowed them the upgrade without any charges.
Sorry, this will rarely work. Maybe on some unpopular route with a half empty business class cabin. First off FF programs work by tiers and seniority. Software decides who gets the upgrade, usually days before a flight. Used to be miles now it’s SPEND mostly. And calling? That does nothing. Those people have little/no say. Maybe are in a call center in another country. Show up early; politely ask the person at check in, remind them you’re still interested. Yes, dressing well helps make a good impression.
Most important thing is to sign up to the airlines loyalty program You will never get upgraded if you don't. I've been upgraded 5 times on one leg of my long haul flight to Thailand from Ireland.
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.
Dress up because you're the Star of your movie of life. Not for anything external. Dressing your way can mean a three piece suit or cowboy style or something urban but still looking classy. Dressing up doesn't mean someone else's interpretation
For two years I got upgraded from economy to business on every flight I took, on 2 different airlines (5-6 in total in 2013-2014). I wasn't even a member of either loyalty program. I still have no idea why. I always flew alone and was decently dressed but that can't be the whole explanation. At some point it just stopped and I've never been upgraded since.
Balik lg ke preference owner sih, kenapa cleaning tools ga disimpan di laundry room ya, lemari penyimpanan biar full utk stok sehari2. Namun, suka ide nya utk lemari penyimpanan, krn barang keperluan sehari2, seperti lap2, tas belanja, alat jahit, batre, tisu, dll perlu juga ada tempat tersendiri apalagi utk kami, family of 6. 4 anak, remaja - bayi. Rumahnya benar2 worth to wait. Masa pembangunan yg cukup panjang hingga jadi seperti itu. Masya Allah..
Man, am I simple. I only prebook my window seat so I can look outside. 😅 Tho this august I’m going on my first long flight. Can’t wait to see how that will go.
That is some weird housewive's 'psychology' right there. Also: Dress to impress on a flight? Yeah, you better dress to be comfortable. Your showing off will do nothing if you're cold or sweaty or just plain uncomfortable.
I was cabin crew for Emirates, this creates such unnecessary expectations when people get on board because a lot goes into consideration, catering in business class, frequent flyers who might be in economy and are platinum members. It’s a lot!
I’ve never dressed to impress when I’ve bought a first class or business class seat. If you can afford to dress to impress, use the money pay for your higher-class ticket, and go about your day.
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.
Im confused!! What does a bulkhead seat have anything to do about a bulkhead seat upgrade . If you booked economy and you request a bulkhead seat, you will get the bulkhead in economy.
It doesn’t work like this. But it did happen twice with me.. first time I was upgraded bec I was a silver member and the flight was full. 2nd time I got lucky bcs I paid full fare economy, I was a silver member, from India to NY.. but what I did is that I put a request a week back and also I did book a flight with 9 hour layover and I requested the emirates counters in Dubai for an upgrade. It happened..
I tried this and it worked. I then woke up to discover I was still seated in economy.
LMAO
LMFAO
NO WAY LMFAOO
Lucky you, I "woke up" and I was just daydreaming walking down the street.
That’s funny as

Most important thing is to sign up to the airlines loyalty program You will never get upgraded if you don't.
I've been upgraded 5 times on one leg of my long haul flight to Thailand from Ireland.
Option 2: work harder to be rich
That last Aerial shot was mesmerizing bro 😍😍
It helps if you actually travel frequently for business and your business has a high tier account with the airline
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.
If you can’t afford, just be real!! 😂
New member? You'll be lucky if they don't laugh in your face.
Dress up because you're the Star of your movie of life. Not for anything external. Dressing your way can mean a three piece suit or cowboy style or something urban but still looking classy. Dressing up doesn't mean someone else's interpretation
I love how smooth you lie 😂
It work on braindead people
For two years I got upgraded from economy to business on every flight I took, on 2 different airlines (5-6 in total in 2013-2014). I wasn't even a member of either loyalty program. I still have no idea why. I always flew alone and was decently dressed but that can't be the whole explanation. At some point it just stopped and I've never been upgraded since.
There is a reason why his video received tons of comments.
My point exactly
I like it when people dress nice and are clean on aircraft
I tried that...on a budget flight, it works!
To fly business, you need to be a regular flying member and pay $$ for the ticket. And I do both and enjoy my trip! There are no shortcuts.
Balik lg ke preference owner sih, kenapa cleaning tools ga disimpan di laundry room ya, lemari penyimpanan biar full utk stok sehari2.
Namun, suka ide nya utk lemari penyimpanan, krn barang keperluan sehari2, seperti lap2, tas belanja, alat jahit, batre, tisu, dll perlu juga ada tempat tersendiri apalagi utk kami, family of 6.

Rumahnya benar2 worth to wait. Masa pembangunan yg cukup panjang hingga jadi seperti itu.
Masya Allah..
Great info. Be blessed. Luck doesn’t exist. Amen 🙏🏽
Yeah. I’m showing up with zero miles on my account. Need a bulk-head I called. Ok sir. F-class doesn’t board for another 45min 😂

Edit: thanks for 10 likes ❤️
Man, am I simple. I only prebook my window seat so I can look outside. 😅 Tho this august I’m going on my first long flight. Can’t wait to see how that will go.
That is some weird housewive's 'psychology' right there. Also: Dress to impress on a flight? Yeah, you better dress to be comfortable. Your showing off will do nothing if you're cold or sweaty or just plain uncomfortable.
You could also just buy business class tickets and not do this song and dance that will likely fail.
Who tf flight with sweat pants?? 😂
I was cabin crew for Emirates, this creates such unnecessary expectations when people get on board because a lot goes into consideration, catering in business class, frequent flyers who might be in economy and are platinum members. It’s a lot!
❤❤❤! Dress up also nice wear branded stuff but still put me behind 😂😂😂😮just keep quite thankfull atleast still get inside 😮❤
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 "SURE" 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Step 1 Stop living outside your means. Step 2 be grateful youre able to fly.
I’ve never dressed to impress when I’ve bought a first class or business class seat.
If you can afford to dress to impress, use the money pay for your higher-class ticket, and go about your day.
Sorry but you’re wrong - it’s an automated system that does upgrades. Please stop presenting false information.
Sounds like a stressful way to travel. I just book the ticket and go.
It technically isn’t free because you still have to pay for the economy seat 😂
I tried now I’m seated where I was but now whole crew is staring me
Last punch 👌👌👌
STEP NO. 6 - Book a business class ticket, if you have money.
Whenever I flew on businesses I dressed ready for my meeting g on arrival. I automatically was upgraded nearly every flight.
BS
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.
I don't fly business class, not my class. I fly First Class economy (thats what i like to call it) 😆😂
Im confused!! What does a bulkhead seat have anything to do about a bulkhead seat upgrade . If you booked economy and you request a bulkhead seat, you will get the bulkhead in economy.
I’d be happy just to get a window seat close to the bathroom!
It definitely feels better if you just pay for it and enjoy feeling rich for real ❤
❤ I like ur videos sir ❤ tc
Nice.
It’s not free if it’s an upgrade from economy to business, you still have to buy any ticket lolz 😝
It doesn’t work anymore because nowadays everyone wants free upgrade so airline made it hard to get it for free
It doesn’t work like this. But it did happen twice with me.. first time I was upgraded bec I was a silver member and the flight was full. 2nd time I got lucky bcs I paid full fare economy, I was a silver member, from India to NY.. but what I did is that I put a request a week back and also I did book a flight with 9 hour layover and I requested the emirates counters in Dubai for an upgrade. It happened..
I try it and it work
I did get up and finding my dog was patiently waiting for me to get up from my sweet dream .
I like to pay for things...but that's just me.
Since when "dress nice" means "no sweatpants or hoodies", I mean... the bar is so low nowadays.
there's another way: check in at the last minute, they already sold all the economy class seats and left some business class seats for spare
