Can I get an even better deal
at the gate?
- Yes, check-in can provide an opportunity for a
cheap or possibly even free upgrade into a better
class. If one of the better classes of seats has room,
you might be able to get a real good upgrade deal.
Some Airlines wait until boarding before they start
the dealing, but ask at check-in. You can find out
whom to talk to and you might just get lucky. Here
are a few tips to help you into that better seat.
- Being in their elite member or frequent flyer clubs
will help.
- Producing your membership in another Airline¡¯s
elite club and saying "I wanted to give you guys
a chance to win my business" could win you that
first class seat.
- Dressing for success. Do you look like you should
be in first class?
- If you are real nice and friendly, you might even
be able to get a free upgrade.
Can an Airline refuse to board
me if I have a valid ticket?
Yes, you can be refused boarding for many reasons.
Here are a few:
- Failing to present proper I.D., passport or other
necessary governmental paperwork to complete your
trip.
- The name on your ticket doesn¡¯t match the name
on your I.D.
- Refusing to allow a search of your luggage or
your person.
- Behaving in an abusive, disorderly or violent
manner.
- Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
