It can be frustrating to be in an airline’s rewards program, only to never see your loyalty pay off with, say, the occasional upgrade to a better seat.
Unfortunately, those are harder to come by these days, in large part because airlines have been a lot more successful in selling upgrades to the highest bidder, leaving fewer and fewer for loyalists.
Still, if you want to avoid paying for an upgrade, there are things you can do to tip the odds in your favor.
Start by checking out our playbooks for each major U.S. airline.
Whether you only want complimentary upgrades or are willing to shell out a bit more for comfort, rest assured there are still plenty of ways to move farther up the plane without spending a lot of money.
