Is it possible to get a free upgrade?
Free upgrade possible?
Okay, so, free flight upgrades? Hmmm...
Forget about scoring a truly free upgrade unless you're basically BFFs with the airline, like a super frequent flyer. US carriers usually give 'em out to the big spenders with top-tier status, you know?
Honestly, I've never gotten one, not entirely free anyway. I mean, I'm more a "find the cheapest flight then eat ramen for a week" kinda traveler.
That one time flying from JFK to LAX on American, I used miles plus like $75 (around 2018, maybe?). Worth it for the leg room, tho. But free? Nah.
It's possible to obtain free upgrade with airline status. US airlines offer complimentary upgrades to high-tier frequent flyers.
My take? Don't count on it. Maybe try to be extra nice to the gate agent? But keep your expectations low. Way low.
