Many people already know that frequent fliers, frequent cruisers, frequent car renters, and frequent quest at hotels receive benefits that the occasional traveler does not receive.

Oftentimes, you or someone on your behalf will have to go to someone above the clerk level to get approval. Sometimes the person you have to talk to is in upper management. And, sometimes you must get approval from a special department within the company that handles such request.

If you travel regularly, or plan to travel often, it is worth the experience of making the attempt at getting upgrades. Who knows? You may discover other things that will benefit you in your travels.

At the very least, you would have talked to someone that may serve as a good contact person, in the future.

Frequent travelers may also find a nugget or two of information about travel upgrades they can use.

If you are an occasional traveler, here is a general tip to keep in mind. You should dress well. A passenger in nice business attire or neat casual clothing is more likely to get what they ask for.

In addition, it helps to have as much flexibility in your schedule as possible. It is amazing how a few hours scheduling flexibility can make a difference to whether you travel in style or not.

Do you know that eBay auctions off airline and car rental upgrade certificates? Check out eBay at www.ebay.com.

Do you have advice, a tip, or information to share about anything travel related?

Share it with this automatic page builder. It's very easy to use. It is like sending an e-mail.

Here is how the process works You write your content (short or long) with up to four (4) optional uploaded photos. (Any length is acceptable for your content giving tips and advice. The preferred length for articles is a minimum of 400 words; but, it is not necessary.) After submission, you will see a Thank You page. You can edit (change) anything you do not like about your contribution. You can also decide if you want notification of when your submission has been published. If you like, you can get notification of when others comment on it. You will receive an Auto-confirm email (only if you ask by checking the box) telling you that your submission is accepted. Once your submission is accepted, the program builds a new web page (the photos may not appear for up to 30 minutes). You will receive a live link to the page. You get this live link in the Auto-confirm email mentioned above. That is it. That’s how it works. See your article published on this website. Start now.
