3 CHEAP Ways To Upgrade To First Class Flights

[@john-qz3fu]

What were the three ways to upgrade to first class for free? That’s what the header on your presentation board says, but I don’t see a single free option. #1. Cash + sweet talk #2. Status + cash #3. Buisness in points + cash Free means it doesn’t cost a thing. What’s going on?

The title says CHEAP :)

I tried that just 2 weeks ago on United airlines holding basic economy ticket. They said basic economy ticket is NOT upgradable.

Cool vid. I’ll check out more. What do you think is the easiest first class redemption for a beginner considering award availability? Thx!

[@luxtravelhacks]

Most reliable availability for true intl first class (that is also a good, desirable product) is probably emirates or Singapore

How about travel from India to SFO. Upgrade just to business for the longest part of the flight e.g. Dubai to SFO - business class, India to Dubai- economy class ( no upgrade)

[@luxtravelhacks]

Sure, sometimes it’s easier to build routes like that, but I’d only do it for short sub 3hr flights

So you purchase biz with cash or points then upgrade on app for a deep discount?

[@ARYUSops]

You pay the upgrade at the gate?

[@luxtravelhacks]

You can do it online before checking in, at check in online (or at desk pre-security) and finally at gate. All 3 could have different prices and all 3 methods work, if you’re doing cash option

You only have to spend $300000 on your credit card to get those 80000 points

Yep. That's pretty much it.
