I’m booked on a flight from Gatwick to Mauritius with my wife for our honeymoon leaving tomorrow evening, booked over a year ago and in economy.

Now, I don’t mind admitting, I’ve got more than a little used to travelling in business and I’m not overly looking forward to 12 hours in economy. So here’s the question:

Do I stand any chance, as a BA Gold member, on my honeymoon, of asking for and getting a free upgrade for us both? How do I best to do it?
