Get a Free Upgrade to First Class

---

Getting a free upgrade to first class isn't easy, people who've paid for first class don't want a scruffy nobody riding free when they had to pay.
Because of this the check-in attendants wont give free upgrades to anyone, you have to look like the kind of guy who would shell out that bit extra for first class,

This instructable will tell you how to do exactly that.

Step 1 Presentation

---

Presentation is key, look like a bum and you'll probably get a downgrade to the cargo area.
1st Class is for business-men and billionaires, Billionaires wont be asking for a free upgrade so your going to have to be a business-man.

Business-man check list :

• Suit
• Tie
• Shirt
• Briefcase
• Copy of Financial Times
• Shiny black shoes
• Glasses ?
• Sensible Hair
• Clean shaven

Business-man No-No List:

• No long hair
• No spiky/roughed up hair
• No Backpacks
• No other clothes other than a suit
• No Beard/Stubble
• No Cheesy grin
• No earrings/piercings
• No visible tattoos

This may seem a bit extreme and you may feel stupid wearing a suit but trust me ,on a long haul flight you would give your right arm to get out of economy.

Are you kidding me? They aren't just going to UPGRADE you without a hitch.
This is trash, this person would be wasting their time and embarrassing themselves. And that third picture on the top, what is that like a 747 first class? That is not BASIC first class. You have no idea! And what airline just upgrades you like that? I'd like to know because this has never happened to me or anyone I know. This is pointless!

[madenairy]

i have a way ov getting up-graded 4 nothing, it isnt fulproof i warn u, but :-

1.go with a desent (forget ryanair then) airline, and
2.go with sumwon in a weelchare

perfectly serius, my mother is in a chare, more-often-than-not (particularly if its a long-to-medium flite) and thare under booked they will bump the two ov u up to first class for zilch!

[SIRJAMES09]

condescending attitudes & putting others down because of their phobias, gets nobody anywhere.

Everyone has something that they are afraid of...only a fool fears nobody and/or nothing.

I am no fool, but I do have phobias. flying is but one of them.

[SIRJAMES09]

good thing I don't fly then....it's too dangerous

[paddyc]

it is not unsafe

[SIRJAMES09]

If you say so....still I will never fly unless I can have a parachute with me, & we both know that will never happen.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that I will never fly because I don't trust the airline companies. They have a reputation of not caring if you live or die....all they want is your money.

[kyleslab]

I also feel sorry for you. You have no clue whatsoever. Obviously you have never flown on a good airline, the only one with the best safety record for the last 20 years (can't mention any names.)

[SIRJAMES09]

if I'm gonna die, it will be by my hand or by the hand of GOD....not some over worked airline pilot who is asleep at the wheel.

I have flown in the past on some of the most technically advanced aircraft...some that the public will never see the inside of(compliments of the US Air Force, US Navy, & US Army). Flying scares me, always has always will. I would rather swim to Ireland as opposed to flying there.

As I said earlier, I'm not saying I'm right & you're wrong, I'm only saying that I refuse to fly.

[kyleslab]

The most technically advanced aircraft? Really? What is considered the "most technically advanced?" Does flying scare you because the person flying is not as experienced with flying passengers as he/she is experienced with the airplane and controls? Obviously it scares you for some very "interesting" reason if you are so firm with your opinion. Hmm, very interesting, you may be right. Most of the people I know HATE to fly. I always thought is was very interesting when people refuse to fly. It always makes me wonder, "Why?" Well, I won't change your mind so have a good day!

[voyageur10]

I feel sorry for you.

[SIRJAMES09]

I answer to a higher authority, & he does not like it when I do something immoral to get ahead and/or to get comfortable at someone else's expense.

Cheating the system means someone is having to pay more at some point just so you can be more comfortable. THAT is wrong & immoral & I will never condone that...nor should anyone else in my humble opinion.

What goes around, comes around. that's not just life, that's karma.

I bid you peace Sir.

[SIRJAMES09]

save your pity for someone who cares...

I couldn't care less if people agree with me or not; I don't care if what I do works for anyone but me; all I'm saying is this is me, this is but a part of who I am & I WILL NOT lose any sleep if someone disagrees with me.

So do not pity me, either be my friend, or get out of my way, because I am gonna do & go where & when I want to go & do.

In the mean time, I bid you peace....may life always be kind to you Sir.

[varocketry]

THis is complete trash suggestions made for whatever posting purpose.

If you want to be entertained, fine. Want to try to get a first class upgrade, pass.
Too little seats, too many high point FF'ers for this drivel to work.

[FlatLinerMEDIC]

First class only way to go.....stock up on the minis=)

[lkuziez9680]

I fly all the time probably 6-8 times a year and I thought this was absolutely incredible, I have not tried it yet but I probably will.

[jhercik]

This post needs to be updated to reflect the current airline culture of death-by-extra-fees. I doubt these tactics will work nowadays without incurring at least a $50 charge.

[killer pyro]

hey i posted a comment before and iam not sure if it did post...anyway in the comment i agreed with brendangillespie that it is an honor to serve the country and to fake it is sad. by accident i put john.pooler and meant rick05. and i like john poolers comment for the guns...does anyone know were to get guns like sniper rifles,assault rifles,shotguns for the firing range...yes i am a gun nut

[john.pooler]

I can make this whole ible much simpler...no lies involved.
1. Join Army
2. Wear uniform in airport on R&R leave from Iraq/Afg./(insert war here)
3. look for an airport employee who seems to have some form of vision
Everytime I've traveled this way=Free Upgrade. It's true, its not foolproof, and you do have to enlist in the service, but free upgrades and all the MRE's you can eat!
Plus you get nifty guns.

[RickO5]

Or just go to a surplus center or thrift store and pick up a used uniform to wear, then follow steps 2 and 3.

[brendangillespie]

Rick05,

As someone who is an 8+ year veteran of the US Navy and is still serving, your comment greatly disappoints me. To that end, I sincerely hope you're not being serious.

For someone to joke about "faking" service to their country is a horrendous decision and a terrible lapse in judgement. I think it goes without saying that you are dishonoring all of those who truly deserve to wear or have worn the uniform.

[SIRJAMES09]

TY Sir for your comment & TY Sir for serving.

[RickO5]

This is a poor place to discuss the subject I think. That being said, if one is worming their way into first class seating they didn't pay for anyway, I don't see much difference between tactics.
I was not being serious however, (I assume john.pooler wasn't suggesting someone actually join the army for the seating perks either) and it's worrisome to me that you find my comment so grievous. If you would like to discuss it further please message me, I certainly mean no offense by it.

[Riojelon]

Yeah nifty guns and a chance to go up in heaven(or hell)

[john2008]

just go air force instead same treatment but with out the risk. im air force so dont start telling me im bashing on them

[finfan7]

No risk? Ask someone in vehicle ops.

[Whales]

This is what my parents told me if I ever considered the military. I am, and this is what I am considering..

[Mastros]

> Yeah nifty guns and a chance to go up in heaven(or hell)

Well, yeah, but..., but... Since you go up, doesn't that count as an upgrade? Ah, nevermind, I guess it doesn't.

[roland985]

We don't got heaven, we die. We don't go to hell, we die. The Bible says nothing about going to hell. Its a bad translation.

[SpaceRat]

But we DO get resurrected, eventually! Talk about an upgrade....

[NatNoBrains]

You obviously haven't read the Bible. It does say the bad will be punished, and the good will be rewarded (with heaven). So the opposite of heaven would be everlasting pain, which is what hell is depicted as.

[SpaceRat]

Nutrition Man, I attend a large Baptist Seminary, and what roland985 is true - When you die, you are dead as a door knob. And it doesn't say the bad will be punished, it says the WICKED will be DESTROYED (The wages of sin is....). And your "reward" is everlasting life, not "going to Heaven". We preachers just don't want you naves to know the truth cause then we couldn't have all that control over your minds. Oops, I let the cat out of the bag....

[NatNoBrains]

Stop reading the children's version of the Bible.

[SpaceRat]

OK , OK, I will return your Children's version of the Bible.

[NatNoBrains]

Thanks, I remember that it was stolen from my borther...

[roland985]

What version do you read?

[NatNoBrains]

I read New International Version

[roland985]

True, but, If you were to read the Bible even closer, it says that Christ will return to earth, and set God's Kingdom up. It even says that the faithful will be raised from the grave, and allowed to live in the kingdom of heaven on earth. The bad will simply be put in the ground for eternity.

Also, my apologies to the creator of this article for this off topic discussion...

[NatNoBrains]

And the ground is often referred to as hell.

[roland985]

Oh, you were referring to the ground all along? Thats a fail for me then...

[NatNoBrains]

Yep, you Christian?
