How to Fly First or Business Class for Very Cheap or Free

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

• Charm
• Some spending money
• Patience
• Good luck

Step1

Ask for it. I often find myself standing in a long line being the only one asking if there's a seat up front. I'm not saying that these seats are out there for grab. But if the flight is over-sold, you have a better chance that they will call your name.

Step2

Dress well. Wear business or at least casual business clothing. This will increase your odds. However, if you still end up in the back, you run the risk of having to sit in your suit for 15 hours. Decide if it is worth it.

Step3

Ask for available upgrades to purchase. Sometimes you can spend a few frequent flyer miles and get a decent seat, or you can buy one for a couple of bucks. In this case be prepared to keep a straight face when you hear a 5 figure price, and just politely pass on the "deal". Last time I flew from New York to Kuala Lumpur with a layover in Stockholm, when I had to sit on the plane for 20 hours, I only had to pay $400 for an upgrade. It was sure worth it.

Step4

There is a very nice newsletter, called The First Class Cheap Flyer, which provide you great deals. You can buy the magazine for a higher price, or just benefit from the free newsletter. It is useful when time and destination is not an issue, you just want to travel.

MultiVu Video Feed: Virgin America - Award-Winning Low Cost Carrier to Begin Service to Boston

The award-winning low-fare airline Virgin America will welcome its first flight into Boston from San Francisco on February 11th - with a red carpet welcome by Virgin Group Founder and President Richard Branson and Virgin America CEO David Cush. Tickets are on sale for daily flights from LAX (Los Angeles) and SFO (San Francisco) to Boston's Logan International Airport starting on Feb. 11th, 2009.

Fares start at $109 one way in main cabin, $570 one way in the carrier's new main cabin select premium service, and from $999 in its upscale first class cabin. The discount airline says it will inject some healthy competition into a market that currently offers no low-fare carrier service from either LAX or SFO to BOS. Virgin America will have two daily roundtrips from SFO to BOS and three daily roundtrips from LAX to BOS.

Since launching in August of 2007, the San Francisco-based airline has captured a list of industry best-in-class awards, including "best domestic airline" in Conde Nast Traveler's 2008 Readers' Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure's 2008 World's Best Awards. All Virgin America flights to Boston will feature inflight WiFi as a standard feature.

Capital idea of bargain flights Evening Chronicle : Cheap

Councils are shopping around for cheap flights to get the best bargains on travel between the North East and London.

Several councils are using budget airlines to fly people on business to the capital, although the train remains the cheapest option in the majority of cases.

The move comes as two more councils revealed their annual travel bill for officers and councillors.

Sunderland Council spent pounds 236,000 last year, including pounds 11,684 on first class rail tickets for councillors.

Other North East authorities have already revealed they spent pounds 176,000 on first class rail travel last year.

Council chiefs claim travelling first class on business can make sense as people can work on the train.

But the national campaign group, the Taxpayers' Alliance, says first class rail tickets are a perk and councils should stop the practice.

In Sunderland, city council officials say that generally first class travel is only allowed for long journeys.

A review of travel costs is under way as part of a review of budgets across the council. A council spokesman said: "Over recent years the council has utilised cheap air travel in journeys to and from the London area to reduce the costs of travel.

"Given the budget prices offered by a number of airlines and depending on the location of the meeting and associated travelling time, air travel is used where it represents best value."

South Tyneside Council says pounds 233,000 was spent on travel, including rail, plane and taxi costs, for staff and councillors last year.

Transport costs are being reviewed and staff are encouraged to use public transport if possible.

"Other measures include the use of budget airlines and associated transport costs to and from the centre of London as opposed to standard rail travel," said a spokeswoman.

"If rail travel is used, the council recommends booking in advance to obtain the most cost effective rate."

Newcastle Council, which spent pounds 568,000 on travel, including pounds 40,490 on first class tickets, has already ordered a 10% cut.

"In some cases people do fly to London if it works out cheaper, but the majority still use the train," said a spokesman. Gateshead Council, which spent pounds 84,655 on first class travel, is also taking measures to cut costs.

Hong Kong tops the list

Journal Record, The (Oklahoma City) , Jul 7, 1997 by Ron Perry

Tokyo is no longer the world's most expensive city for business travelers, according to Runzheimer International, a consulting group. That honor now belongs to Hong Kong, where daily expenses, including meals and a business-type hotel room, cost an average of $474 a day, vs. $440 in Tokyo. All of the cities in the Top 10 list are located abroad. New York City, although the most expensive U.S. city, is relatively cheap at $305 per day.

Business class improved

A number of U.S. airlines are improving their business class cabins. Delta Air Lines is adding laptop electrical outlets to 70 percent of its business class cabins (except for L-1011 aircraft). Leg room (the "pitch," or distance between one row of seats and the next) will increase from 40 or 45 inches to 50 inches. The carrier is adding individual video units to each seat so that you may watch what you like, when you like. Food will be upgraded, as will in-flight phone service and flight attendant training. Miles for investing Bull&Bear Securities, the discount brokerage firm, has teamed with American Airlines' AAdvantage frequent flyer program to offer miles to investors. Bull&Bear will award 200 miles for each trade (500 miles for your first trade), 1,000 miles for opening a new account and one mile for every $10 of asset value maintained in the account on an annual basis with a minimum asset level of $25,000. In addition, you'll get miles for asset transfers: beginning at 500 miles for transfers of $1,000-$100,000. For more information, call 800-285-5232. Cruise deal Radisson Seven Seas Cruises has joined Delta's frequent flyer program with some interesting benefits for travelers on select Panama Canal and Costa Rica cruises. If reservations are made by Sept. 15 for certain cruises sailing between December and April, the second passenger in a cabin gets 50 percent off, plus free economy airfare from select East Coast cities and a free two-night stay in San Jose, Costa Rica. You'll also get a bonus of 5,000 frequent flyer miles. Booking up You may find it a little harder getting a cabin on Carnival Cruise Lines in the coming months. Bookings are up over 42 percent compared to the year-earlier period, but capacity is only up about 13 percent. Perhaps one of the reasons is Carnival's vacation guarantee program, which they've extended through 1998. That program promises that if a passenger doesn't like their cruise, they can get off at the first non-U.S. port of call and get a refund for the unused portion of the cruise, plus airfare back to the point of embarkation. But most people seem to love their cruises, Carnival notes; less than one- tenth of 1 percent of passengers asked for a refund during the trial period. Ron Perry is the president of Prime Time Travel in Oklahoma City. You may call him at 340-1120 if you have any questions or issues you would like to address in "Travel News."
