Wondering what the protocol (if any) is for talking our way up to biz class? Is this even done anymore?
Thanks!
I don't think you will have a chance but there is no harm in asking. Maybe show up with some cookies and coffee for the agent. Your tickets are probably in the lower fare buckets and if they gave free upgrades it would be to the Gold/Platinum crowd. One thing for sure, DO NOT try to non rev on the flight to get BE. You could lose your pass privileges.
