Types of Upgrades Available

Understanding the cabin classes is the first step. Not all upgrades are created equal.

1. Premium Economy / Economy Plus

This is the most popular and affordable upgrade. It typically offers:

3-5 inches of extra legroom.
Priority boarding (Group 2 or 3).
Dedicated overhead bin space.

Cost: Usually $30 - $150 depending on flight length. Call 1(833) 308-3305 to book.

2. Business Class

For long-haul flights, Business Class is a game-changer. Lie-flat beds, lounge access, and gourmet dining await.

Lounge Access: Relax before you fly.
Lie-Flat Seats: Essential for red-eye flights.
Premium Service: Dedicated flight attendants.

3. First Class (Domestic)

On domestic US routes, First Class offers wider reclining seats, a meal, and free drinks. It's perfect for transcontinental flights.

How to Upgrade Your Flight

Method 1: Call for Last-Minute Deals (Best Value)

Airlines often release unsold premium seats at a discount 24-48 hours before departure. By calling 1(833) 308-3305, our agents can search for these "fare class buckets" that aren't always advertised online. This is the secret to affordable luxury.

Method 2: Use Frequent Flyer Miles

If you have a stockpile of miles, you can use them to "buy" an upgrade. However, mileage seats are capacity-controlled. You must call to verify if "upgrade inventory" is available on your specific flight.

Method 3: Bid for an Upgrade

Some tickets allow you to place a "bid" for a seat. If accepted, you are moved up. If rejected, you keep your economy seat. This is risky as nothing is guaranteed.

Upgrade Pricing Guide (Estimates)

Route Type	Economy -> Premium	Economy -> Business
Short Haul (Domestic)	$29 - $59	$99 - $299
Long Haul (Int'l)	$150 - $300	$500 - $3000+
