How I Fly Business Class Without Breaking The Bank 1. Bid for an upgrade 36 hours before the flight!!!! Most people think check in is 24 hours before your flight. But if you’re flying internationally, it’s 36 hours before the flights with Emirates and Qatar. This gives you an eight hour jump ahead of everyone else. When you check in for the flight 36 hours in advance, all the business class seats that haven’t been sold will all be discounted. This is how I’m able to fly business class internationally for $1,000 each time. 2. Use your airline miles you’ve accumulated from past flights to upgrade. If you want to keep your liquid cash in the bank, but still want to fly business, just ask the airline if you have enough miles to cover the full price of the upgrade. From there, you’ll be just responsible for the taxes. 3. Find the airline’s upgrade ticket counter in the airport!!! Most ppl don’t even know there is such a counter. I suffer from sciatica and my back was killing me while In the airport. I simply walked up to the ticket counter and asked if I could upgrade to business so I could lie flat for the rest of the 11 journey. I was charged $1,100 USD on the spot and was upgraded to business class immediately.
