@majix123 These types of guys still earn for doing this shit most of internet is filled with these types of so called influencers who ain't influencing shit
Me and my parents got our tickets upgraded. Typical central European rats going back home from holidays, sweaty as fuck, tired, transit in Dubai back to Prague after flying from Indonesia. The lady at the gate tore apart our tickets and we thought we were not going to fly lol. We got handed business tickets. The first time I slept on a plane and ate great food (Emirates have good food in eco as well imo, the standard is crazy imo). So cap. I don't think they give a shit what your stagus is plus I bet they love everybody buggering them with stupid request every week before a flight...
Just tried it. It totally works! Thank you!! I followed all 5 steps but had to add an extra " step 6 Pay for a business class ticket. " but otherwise followed every step in the video
OMG THIS ACTUALLY WORKEDD! I came in a suit and let them know I'm a member and made several calls for an upgrade. I was personally escorted off the aircraft. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
as a checking agent i must say we do upgrade only when flight overbooked,this its norm in peak times,frequent flyer play key part when selecting and suite ,but u know what ur politeness and humble behaviour thats what ultimately matters,becoz we have the power decide whether ur good or bad for the buisness class,show ur kindness its work
Thank you 👏🏽 I was just about to give them a wake up call about this … spot on !! Every word … thank you 🙏🏽 if not there’s so many people acting funny saying I hope you’re going to give me an upgrade 🙄 that joke gets old very fast 😅
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.
Agree, these are great tips but I'd rather just chill, go with the flow and enjoy the movies. Leave it to fate, you could end up sitting next to the man of your dreams 😍
Upgrades go to high mileage members FIRST, IF they are available. Next group eligible for upgrades are those willing to pay for it (revenue upgrade). Many even leave them empty unless you are willing to pay.
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.
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.
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)
If i'm flying long haul I usually get some tasty treats from the departure country (not the standard duty free crap - proper local goodies) and hand them to the cabin crew. Sometimes they'll hook me up with some of the swag from first class, extra drinks on takeoff, or sometimes nothing. Either way it feels good to show them some appreciation!
@@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)
actually, everytime my husband and I fly. we always dress business casual. why? because we are treated differently. just like how we are in line waiting to check in, they will open a window and call us to check in. sometimes, upgrades are easier too and there's an available seat but for others, its already full. they definitely treat people differently how they are dress. but do we assumed to get it for free? 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.
True! Do not ask for a business class, never, it's rude! And if they want to give you an up in business class say with polite "no thanks". But you have to be very polite...
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've been on flights with business class almost completely empty and they still didnt upgrade passengers for free. Why would they? It will cost them extra (tiny bit only) and all they do is depreciate the value of business class (paying triple and then sitting next to a clown who got upgraded for free).
Step 6 : if you are a person of African and Indian origin then forget any free upgrades because no matter what you do you will never get a free business class upgrade. This is the reality of life 🤷🏻♀️
@@Hari-kx2er I too recall, way back in the late 70s/ early 80s, a couple I knew - the man white/British and his wife Indian - I don't know which airline, but SHE got upgraded and he didn't! He told us the story, and he reckoned it was because she was from a wealthy/ high class Indian family, and it somehow transmitted the correct 'vibes' to the airline staff that her rightful place was NOT in Economy! HE was well-spoken and well-dressed, but was merely a builder's son...
As an airline staff that has nothing to do with an complimentary upgrade to businesses class the airline start giving upgrades for free when the economy class is overbooked and the system will prioritise frequent flyers who have hight point for the upgrade so everyone will have a set on the aircraft
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.
@@MARCHHARE900 I once was offered to fly 1st class completely free at the airport by a company I didnt even book at. Got there for a 1-hour flight and they just ran around with free tickets in their hands seeing if anyone wanted them. And another time they called me to the front before boarding and offered me a private jet just because I was dressed so well. So i went from economy to my own airplane for that flight. Best flight ever because there was a cook on board preparing my food. Really!
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 😊
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
@@jenifernadeau dude im pretty sure the universe is conspiring AGAINST me because I tried crypto trading and I was like "yo ok this is ez, all coins are going up now, we're in a bull market" and somehow both the coins I bought went -80% less than 24 hours apart while all other coins doubled or tripled in price. so unfortunately it seems that for me, the mindset is irrelevant.
@@spinaaaaait was the doubt and stress, greed and lack of faith in yourself and being able to manifest that made you loose, I've had the exact opposite experience, I fly business now..
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.
The airline staff look so lovely and smart in their uniforms and the overall they are wearing for serving in 1st class. A credit to the airline company. 😊😊
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.
@@jojovv5854it’s not a free upgrade, it’s a strategy the airline has, it overbooks economy and should everyone turn up they have no choice but to move select people up to the next class. 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.
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 just like going to the desk at the gate and ask them to page my friend Harry Seaword. You either get that upgrade after the agent stops laugh. Or airport security comes and drags you off😂
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.
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 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.
This totally works!!! Well it worked like in the 80s or 90s… Not 2024, they might have bumped you up to show some prestige but airlines don’t care about that anymore.
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.
@@Sergi.Galiano nonsense. Upgrading happens when flights are overbooked, it goes by status so platinum members first. And then simply by who paid the most for their ticket. It is a very transparent, clear and honest system. Nothing you do will influence it. (Years of platinum status here, plus multiple family members are pilots and cabin crew). -> if you just asked a random cabin crew member of an airliner they would have given you this exact answer.
I have travelled more then 50 times and never asked for a business class, I have flown in economy class, but someday I wanna experience business class, so don't hate me if I ask for business class next time because I wanna experience it, we are just humans, and we want to experience nice things in life, maybe people joy few moments of joy after a busy, problematic and stressful life, so don't hate when people ask for it, because it's made for people...
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.
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 work on it currently, this asshat will inconvenience at least 5 ppl, and take time from ppl that could be tending to ASC crap like missconnections and such.. this is not the 50s the airline knows the fare WE all know..
This can happen because not all business class flights are full, but economy class is overbooked, so airlines have to choose from all economy passengers who has more rights to be able to sit in business class.
I work for an Airline. Having booked ancillaries without paying them will prevent doing the Check-in and Airport Agents contact us to cancel the unpaid request to be able to print the boarding card. All of those steps do not make sense to me tbh.
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 tried this… wow.. not just dressing up nicely like a gentleman. The cute sterwardess stayed in the same hotel with me, she remembered me,asked her if i could spend some time with her politely, she did not refused at all. We ended up talking all night and magic happens, went back to my room and she felt a sleep. But when i woke up in the morning… I realised everything was a dream
my mum actually went on business class almost for *free!!* Here's why: *so she was flying back home (singapore to Australia) and she was one of the last people to board the plane, but the surprise is that the plane was full! I mean that no more seats left (in economy) so the flight attendants asked her to sit in business class which were the only seats left. On the seven hour flight, she was enjoying business class* And fun fact: *she didn't pay that much, only the price of Enconmy class*
I don't see why these tips will work I fly every month and never get a free upgrade. I did get once ages ago, but that was because the flight was overbooked and I checked in last minute at the counter. After that experience about 25 years ago, I never get an upgrade anymore, no matter what I do. I guess I just have to redeem my miles for an upgrade 😅
I tried this and it worked. I then woke up to discover I was still seated in economy.
LMAO
LMFAO

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
Love your comment ❤@@jenifernadeau
@@jenifernadeau dude im pretty sure the universe is conspiring AGAINST me because I tried crypto trading and I was like "yo ok this is ez, all coins are going up now, we're in a bull market" and somehow both the coins I bought went -80% less than 24 hours apart while all other coins doubled or tripled in price. so unfortunately it seems that for me, the mindset is irrelevant.
@@spinaaaaait was the doubt and stress, greed and lack of faith in yourself and being able to manifest that made you loose, I've had the exact opposite experience, I fly business now..
@@spinaaaaaevery thing plays it's role mindset is a THING have very positive thoughts Abt it and invest mindfully with full knowledge as well.
😂people used to sneak into business class from economy and i like thier faces when i ask them to go back .ex emirates business class crew member
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 followed these steps and I got to fly the plane. Thank you. Will be doing it again
How do u put in a request for something u haven’t even booked or paid for?
@@Nanticoke I paid for the economy flights, I got the upgrade for free. I think me not clarifying has caused a lot of confusion lol
@@Sergi.Galiano YOOH !!!
@@Sergi.Galianohow
@@Sergi.Galiano
Clickbait
@@Sergi.Galiano I got hotel room updrades to suites not all airlone do so
The airline staff look so lovely and smart in their uniforms and the overall they are wearing for serving in 1st class. A credit to the airline company. 😊😊
Emirates doesn’t do free upgrades or free loyalty member upgrades so this definitely is fake
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.
Emirates r actually quite generous in giving free upgrades. The airlines that dont do as far as i know is singapore airlines
As someone who used to work for Emirates I can confirm this is not how you get upgrades.
@@jojovv5854it’s not a free upgrade, it’s a strategy the airline has, it overbooks economy and should everyone turn up they have no choice but to move select people up to the next class. 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.
The dress is so dreamy😍😍 they did such a great job✨✨
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 just like going to the desk at the gate and ask them to page my friend Harry Seaword. You either get that upgrade after the agent stops laugh. Or airport security comes and drags you off😂
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.
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.
Dekat mana bengkel abg ni? Nak support org kita! 💪 Terus maju jaya.
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.
Only long haul flights is matters ， domestic flights upgrade is sucks
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.
This totally works!!!
Well it worked like in the 80s or 90s… Not 2024, they might have bumped you up to show some prestige but airlines don’t care about that anymore.
Plot twist: None of this works 😅
These kind of videos just make their jobs harder :’)
What a load of BS. Don’t ever expect an upgrade unless you have platinum membership or have been gold for years.
Or just simply pay for business class. Lol
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.
Yeah you were lucky it happens sometimes
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.
@@Sergi.Galiano nonsense. Upgrading happens when flights are overbooked, it goes by status so platinum members first. And then simply by who paid the most for their ticket. It is a very transparent, clear and honest system. Nothing you do will influence it. (Years of platinum status here, plus multiple family members are pilots and cabin crew). -> if you just asked a random cabin crew member of an airliner they would have given you this exact answer.
Que entrevista incrível!!!!! Chorei e ri junto com sua mãe!! Que lindo 💕💕💕 obrigada por compartilhar sofy!
I used to work for this airline and we hate it when people open their mouth asking for upgrades cuz everyone does it
I have travelled more then 50 times and never asked for a business class, I have flown in economy class, but someday I wanna experience business class, so don't hate me if I ask for business class next time because I wanna experience it, we are just humans, and we want to experience nice things in life, maybe people joy few moments of joy after a busy, problematic and stressful life, so don't hate when people ask for it, because it's made for people...
Well. You got your business ticket over there man 😂
THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! I got a business class upgrade. But when I woke up, I was still falling in line in the check in luggage.
Finally a Pakistani relatable channel about a Software industry ❤
Summarizing all the steps: buy yourself a first class or business ticket if you want to flight first/business class. Simple 😢
I tried it and was upgraded to first class! You the man!
Only surefire way is to pay sir. You get what you pay for, as with most things in life!
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.
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
Soon we will be all in suits in the economy class
What utter utter utter nonsense.
You’re welcome
Love from someone who’s worked in the industry for 30 years.
Now this is a real review!
I work on it currently, this asshat will inconvenience at least 5 ppl, and take time from ppl that could be tending to ASC crap like missconnections and such.. this is not the 50s the airline knows the fare WE all know..
This can happen because not all business class flights are full, but economy class is overbooked, so airlines have to choose from all economy passengers who has more rights to be able to sit in business class.
If you can’t afford it stop trying to get it for free.
But not being able to afford it is precisely why someone would want to try it for free.
"Be polite and snatch that boarding pass back" 😅😂
How does one put in a request for a bulkhead seat without paying for it?
Heyyyy,where is that last shot from??? Alll that blue water 😃🤩😍
They barely let you in, they don’t engage in any conversation because they have 200 passengers to deal with.
The day i get to fly first class, I’ll dress like a begger😏
Step 1 : work harder and earn more money
Step 2 : book the business class seat
Omg it worked omg thx you thx u so much im litrally in bussnesss class in reall life i will sum thx you im really enjoying here
This is so dumb and untrue
That happens if your lucky and the economy class seats are overbooked 😅 and provided Business class seats are available
Airline staff wondering why idiots are calling them up asking about boolquehead, bilgehead, bolkhead seats.
Too funny 😂
Haha “Tell them you’re a member” 😂.
I love how smooth you lie 😂
It work on braindead people
Thanks Sir for your predictions pls can you tell is this prediction according to lunar sign or sun sign ?
I work for an Airline. Having booked ancillaries without paying them will prevent doing the Check-in and Airport Agents contact us to cancel the unpaid request to be able to print the boarding card. All of those steps do not make sense to me tbh.
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 😅
Dress to impress. I miss the days when people took pride before going out.
You still can, no one is stopping you lol
Thats a lot of dang work😂 im just happy i get to fly out the country
Sorry but you’re wrong - it’s an automated system that does upgrades. Please stop presenting false information.
jun face after doing the hug😂
It technically isn’t free because you still have to pay for the economy seat 😂
I skipped the 1st to the 5th steps. I jumped to the 6th step, paid a business flight ticket... 😅
You could also just buy business class tickets and not do this song and dance that will likely fail.
The moment the secret trick is published, it's, well, over.
The quote of the year: “It’s a Boeing, so let’s hope nothing bad happens” ~Eric Struk 😅😂
Edit: thanks for 10 likes ❤️
I did this and realized the crew member welcoming me was my classmate I hated so much , she didnt do anything instead gave me a wicked smile.
I tried this… wow.. not just dressing up nicely like a gentleman. The cute sterwardess stayed in the same hotel with me, she remembered me,asked her if i could spend some time with her politely, she did not refused at all. We ended up talking all night and magic happens, went back to my room and she felt a sleep. But when i woke up in the morning… I realised everything was a dream
Just buy a private jet lol😂
my mum actually went on business class almost for *free!!*
Here's why:
*so she was flying back home (singapore to Australia) and she was one of the last people to board the plane, but the surprise is that the plane was full! I mean that no more seats left (in economy) so the flight attendants asked her to sit in business class which were the only seats left. On the seven hour flight, she was enjoying business class*
And fun fact: *she didn't pay that much, only the price of Enconmy class*
i tried this and it worked, they upgraded me to a shared cell!
If you can’t afford, just be real!! 😂
A gen-z calling somewhere and twice! He was probably on the verge of collapsing due to anxiety
❤ I like ur videos sir ❤ tc
I don't see why these tips will work
I fly every month and never get a free upgrade. I did get once ages ago, but that was because the flight was overbooked and I checked in last minute at the counter. After that experience about 25 years ago, I never get an upgrade anymore, no matter what I do. I guess I just have to redeem my miles for an upgrade 😅
So it's a scam
I think Emirates charges extra costs for bulkhead seats because they are considered to have “extra legroom”
I call bullship!
You should try your hand at stand up! 😂
imagine one of the flight attendant see this video 😂
Yeah .. at the end he says ‘good luck’. Truer words never spoken 🙄
At this point I'd be grateful for any flight anywhere
We are watching your silly play brother. Tough luck😂
