Free First Class Upgrades
I found this doc on the web about the strategy for getting upgraded to first class on a regular basis.
Enjoy.

That stuff is a bunch of crap. "Ask to sit in F once the plane takes off?" I highly doubt this will ever work. Why would a FA let someone sit in first if they simply ask? It's more work for them, and if someone wants to sit in F, they can spend miles...or cash.

Oh dear it appears the webpage has exceeded its bandwidth limit.....shame as I was hoping for a good laugh tonight
edited to say: In the end I did get the link working and have a good laugh......just ask the flight attendant if you can sit in First Class.
Did people really pay for this crap?

It takes a lot of effort to get free first class upgrades in the form of:
Why would any Flyertalker need a book to tell them what they already know?
aloha
- Reading Flyertalk for elite status/miles giveaways
- Earning your status and miles
- Sweet talking the gate agent
