Other airlines like Delta and Qatar Airways are quickly installing new perks to keep and attract customers.
Very few people can afford to fly in these seats. However, there are some way to fly in business class without spending extra.
Bidding in online auctions
Online bids have higher chances of giving you low-cost upgrades to business class tickets. Place a minimum bid just by signing up by email a week before your flight. You can use frequent flyer points or cash.
Exercising Kindness
Airport staff have to deal with unruly travelers. However, kindness can mean a lot in challenging situations. To some extent, being dressed nicely can get you an upgrade to a business class and when you least expect it. Another tip: it costs nothing to ask if there are extra seats in business class.
Redeeming Frequent Flyer Points
If you are a frequent flyer, save money on your tickets. Points are earned through car rental and hotel stays. Over time, these can get you an upgraded seat.
Waiting for Offers
Airlines sometimes offer business class sales, which are often not made public. Instead, they are published in the airline’s newsletter – so you need to subscribe to know when a sale is happening.
Flying when business travelers are not flying is another way to maximize your chances at getting a business class seat. Most business travelers fly through the week. Take advantage of weekends. Also consider upgrading at check-in. Just inquire about the cost of upgrading at the gate.
