Travel Hacks#2: Be Loyal

If you want to make the list of transferees then, you have to show loyalty towards your chosen airline. Firstly, become a member of their loyalty program. If you’re a frequent traveler then, try to stick to that one airline whenever you plan on traveling.

Sharing a history with them will make you one of their most valuable customers and they will put in an extra effort to satisfy you. Thus, boosting your chances of being upgraded upon availability!

Travel Hacks#3: The Early Bird Get’s The Worm!

You see, the seats available in business class are likely to be very scarce, probably 2-3 and 5 at maximum. So, if you’re aiming to get them at a discounted price, or better yet, get them for free! Then you’re going to have to make an effort to avail the offer while it’s still there.

Arriving at the airport 3-5 hours before your reporting time is a really good idea. I know that seems really early but if there is a free seat available in business class, then you want to make sure that you’re the first person to claim it!

Travel Hacks#4: Tantrums Always Work

If you’re a frequent traveler, then you must know that the airport is not always as efficient of a place as it appears to be. Sometimes, seats get overbooked, luggage goes missing, flights get delayed, and sometimes officials have no idea what is going on!

If the airline you are traveling with makes the same mistakes or other more inconvenient ones with you, then don’t be so accommodating. Express your urgency and how you absolutely must get on a plane as soon as possible! You might have a meeting with the President, a nuclear bomb might be set off otherwise, or you’ll die of a panic attack! Be persuasive!

Travel Hacks#5: Check Your Emails!

Some airlines send emails to their travelers just a few hours before departure and offer them discounted upgrades. To catch these great deals KEEP CHECKING YOUR EMAIL!
