I did that once when I was flying stand-by. The eco was full and I was upgraded to business-class. Several other passengers with higher stand-by status were left behind.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class a10478e5-6ea5-1b63-25da-ff0008c9fd66 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 10:36:18 GMT <p>can you do that 'OSI' thing with travel agents in australia??</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class 65cc5457-101e-2179-0159-ff0008c9ffc3 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:46:02 GMT <p>if you look important people will touch you..

After he said "Ni Hao (meaning "How are you" in Mandarin, I responded to him with a "Bonjour". Then he smiled a bit and told me he got a nice surprise for me and sure it was. I got the A01 seat and there was only one in the First Class compartment, got a bit getting used to the overly attention Air France cabin crew gave to me. Then again it was truly a nice experience and now I can take one thing off from my 'Wish List" .

Anyways, great video. This should help me.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class a7c8b849-c069-f7ff-5dc5-ff0008ca57c7 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 10:58:58 GMT <p>cute - but the tips are marginally helpful at best. the days of talking one's way into first class are long gone. Simply and politley asking about availability is still the most effective technique any "trick" above that actually working is just coincidence.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class 15882b04-b1c4-7501-681f-ff0008ca6788 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:08:35 GMT <p>Awesome! had to view it over and over - it kills me!

After 10+ years in the industry, please let me correct you: (1) OSI stands for "other service information" and this can be confirmed by the four major GDS' and IATA which basically set the codes up for industry standards. (2) a passenger can't put an OSI message into their PNR... it's also intended for the AIRLINE or AGENCY booking the PNR, and if an AGENCY wants to play games saying so-and-so is a VIP and putting an OSI message in the PNR, good luck... everyone is a VIP these days... (3)agents at the airport are being watched from each airline's HQ... if upgrades are given out to non-elite-frequent flyers in overbooking situations, you can be sure that the agents are going to be questioned. what USED TO be the case where you could get upgrades easily, isn't the case anymore now that everything is tracked in computer systems to "protect revenue" (4) i've had INOP seats before and never been moved up... i've been told to write to consumer affairs after the flight... depending on how true your case of an INOP seat is, lying won't help... but if it's legitimately broken (which is rare because seats get reported broken and put in the computer and those seats are then blocked until maintenance can fix them), then you might get moved - but perhaps an elite frequent flyer would get moved up front, and the economy flyer with a 'broken' seat might get the elite flyers former seat.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class 30eedadc-75ce-44a3-bbac-ff0008ca7d16 Mon, 05 May 2008 23:30:19 GMT <p>One more thing.... just putting the letters "OSI" or "SSR" into the PNR mean there is some service request or service info... you have the say WHAT this service request/info is.... such as SSR WCHR - which means special service request, wheelchair.... etc. There are no existing codes like OSI GETFREEUPGRADE.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class 6c7fb81e-5cbd-d0c0-1ee5-ff0008ca7d17 Mon, 05 May 2008 23:33:05 GMT <p>About E-bay.... be warned folks, I can confirm that SEVERAL major carriers browse E-bay daily looking for their customers selling upgrades or free tickets, etc. Do you REALLY think airlines want others to give away their valuable real estate when oil is well over 100$ a barrel and airlines are shutting down weekly? If it's too good to be true, it probably is. </p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class 006c7048-54f3-e001-7d72-ff0008ca7d17 Mon, 05 May 2008 23:35:44 GMT <p>Thanks for your comments guys - big help.</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class eec00165-64ac-6d0f-a5ca-ff0008ca80c4 Sat, 10 May 2008 15:52:48 GMT <p>the one thing this video taught me was to get the guts to ask for the upgrade. i'm always so worried they're gonna yell at me then i realized that the airlines don't even give you peanuts anymore and now they're making us pay to check luggage. we all deserve upgrades!</p> http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-get-an-upgrade-to-first-class adc3d5f8-c32d-ce7b-d4be-ff0008ca9af7 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:04:41 GMT
