Having out of the plane is the dream of any traveler. But it becomes more and more difficult. A steward gives us its trick to put the odds on our side.
This summer again, thousands of French tourists will land in airports to fly to sunny destinations, from Mykonos to Naples via Bali or Mexico. And many dream, on long-haul, of being out of the way on board. But while airlines are increasingly seeking to fill the boxes, practice appears to be almost impossible without paying. Unless…
The most famous steward in Instagram, Mathieu Allouch, gave us in interview his sincere opinion on the upgrade as well as his essential advice to hope to obtain a better seat at the time of departure without going to the cashier. “”The magic upgrade does not exist“, He explained from the outset, putting an end to a myth that only films in the cinema are lost. On the other hand, there are opportunities to seize, especially at the last minute:”For example, 24 hours before your flight, you can receive an email that offers you an upgrade for a few hundred euros. It’s money, of course, but it may be a little cheaper than if you had taken a business class a few days before. “
Airlines offer very different experiences depending on the class chosen, and to hope one day to go from the economy to business class during your next flight at the end of the world, you have to know how to play the game. Mathieu Allouch thus gives his best pipe to travelers: “I advise all the time to join the loyalty programs of the companies. In fact, it’s often the best things to do because you can combine points.“A good sense of common sense at a time when competition is increasingly harsh in the air. If you become a customer loyal to a company, it will then be able to thank you …
And for those who do not want to join Flying Blue (Air France-KLM), JetBlue TrueBlue or United MileagePlus, there remains the good old method at the airport registration counter … “Can you always, with a great smile, ask the question: ‘Can I be outclasssed?’ You don’t know who you are going to get started, but in general, it is no longer too much magic outclass. Who doesn’t try anything has nothing“He added.
