  • Is there generally an age limit as to getting an upgrade, ie will they upgrade a 17 year old or will a 17, 18 year old have as much a likelihood as receiving an upgrade???

  • @scanmannz that's a hard one...bottom line is "dress to impress".

  • Delta raised the one day pass fare from 30 to50 usd.

  • Yeah I heard they were thinking about that. It was 30 just a few months ago! Still worth it if you will utilize it for several hours. There is one airline, I think it is Northwest, lets you buy a month pass now too.

  • To get your desired row (bulkhead, exit or empty), check in online the day before (as he said) and scan the seating chart. Then pick! The bulkhead and exit row selection will not work with Frontier though, because those are their so-called Stretch seats and so they cost more. Your best bet with any airline is always an empty row, assuming it's not a full flight.

  • Alaska also just costs $50 on up to upgrade. Anyway, other strategies may work in case you don't really want to shell out the upgrade fee. You can sit in the bulkhead row (or first row), an exit row or an empty row. Any one of those rows provides good legroom (you can position your legs diagonally when in an empty row). And in the case of an empty row of 3-4 across, put the armrests up and it's a bed!

  • how can we do it with united

  • dude!!! thanks for those tips as i am in the near future going to work for an airline as a manager once i graduate college im probably gonna have to travel i will remember about the VIP clubs 1 day pass!!!!

  • This method of "op-up" is the best way to go. I'm glad that this is not a "go ask the CSA or GA for an upgrade, dress nice, smile, slip them a $20" video. This actually has quite a bit of legitimacy. I fly United so I get UDU but I've done $93 for PHX-DFW on AA and my friend has done ICT-DFW for $45 (not worth it).

  • you can do the same thing with Virgin America. I do it every time. well worth it.

  • What about American Airlines? how much is an upgrade for a coach passenger? we're flying from Miami to Aruba and have got our seats stuck in row 34 and we want to move up. (:

  • another way to get free upgrades if ur in elite status.
