Can I get an even better deal
at the gate?
|
-
Yes, check-in can provide an opportunity
for a cheap or possibly even free upgrade into a better class.
If one of the better classes of seats has room, you might be
able to get a real good upgrade deal. Some Airlines wait until
boarding before they start the dealing, but ask at check-in.
You can find out whom to talk to and you might just get lucky.
Here are a few tips to help you into that better seat.
-
Being in their elite member or frequent
flyer clubs will help.
-
Producing your membership in another Airline's
elite club and saying "I wanted to give you guys a chance
to win my business" could win you that first class seat.
-
Dressing for success. Do you look like you
should be in first class?
-
If you are real nice and friendly, you might
even be able to get a free upgrade.
