Dress Respectably
If you don’t have enough points for a flight upgrade, do your best to dress as respectably as possible. Dress like a CEO, and who knows, you may be able to sweet talk the gate agent for an upgrade. Remember to be very pleasant when requesting for an upgrade. Never act boastful towards the gate agent, because they could be your passport to a more comfortable seat. Don’t be demanding, but speak to them in a relaxed and friendly tone, and try to explain why you need to be given an upgrade.
