Get upgraded to first class for free - Airplane tip

Work for a company that will only reimburse coach fares? Book a full-fare economy class ticket with a Y booking code.

Commonly referred to as "Y-up" tickets, travelers with a Y booking code may request complimentary upgrade to first class seating. Airlines created the Y booking code to get around tighter corporate travel policies, while still catering to their most lucrative passenger segment.

I love being upgraded. I've been lucky enough to have that happen a few time. It's too bad it doesn't happen that often anymore.
