Whenever there are free seats in first class, we get bumped up, especially if we act like we hate the service, or just manage to bad mouth the service while the beverage cart is going by (hehe).<br><br>Funny thing is, my dad IS a doctor, but not a physical doctor...he has his Ph.D. in chemistry.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Kalanderopoulos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[On America West, first class is NEVER booked. And it's very nice service. So when you get to the airport, if you ask the ticket agent for an upgrade, it's first come first serve at VERY low prices. From LA to Phoenix for example it's $25, and from Phoenix to Cancun it's $50. Across the country is only a $100 upgrade. I always fly America West, get to the airport at least an hour early and guarantee my spot in First Class.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iDriveX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have done the America West thing too... they actually offer the upgrade at the kiosk when you pickup your ticket!!<br><br>However,their business/first class is nothing like  American or the other airlines. It's basically a much bigger seat and not much else due to the size of their planes. <br><br>However, like you're saying for <br>$25 or $50 how could you not?!?!?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[First Class is very nice. Especially on international flights, but some first class service aren't as great as others. The only time I've been on first is for Cathay Pacific and United. United doesn't really have a great lounge, but when I was in Hong Kong this past summer Cathay Pacific had a great lounge with food, alcohol, and etc.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Albert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[First Class is always nice, but I consider it a must on flights longer than 5 hours.  I always try to dress well, even for short flights, because it does seem like you get treated better.  I'm also fairly sure I've been bumped to First just for looking good.<br><br>f]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fever]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[Strange it doesn't work that well in Europe. Beeing a frequentflyer member of Swiss Int., I haven't been upgraded once. Anyway, I do know more now, and I'm flying over to the states in a few weeks - we'll see..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice Picture in your article.  This is from the aircraft I work on full time.  This is not a typical first class arrangement.  The aircraft shown is a privately owned aircraft and belongs to a professional sports team.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Neil Sparkman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[I work for one of the best airlines in the world (according to awards won) and our policy is NOT to upgrade on departure for any other reasons than overbooking. <br>And in those cases we will first select Gold members, then Silvers and then finally basic FFP members. Another interesting fact is that our commercial upgrade policy is to select passengers who look professional and well travelled... Therefore most of the passengers being upgraded tend to be of European or Western origin despite most of our passengers being of Asian origin.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gulas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2005 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to get upgraded to first class for free]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/11/how-to-get-upgraded-to-first-class-for-free/</guid><description><![CDATA[where did you get the picture can you give me a link to the page?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2007 8:58PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
