Why can I get a free upgrade by plane?

1, the airline held an activity and won the prize.

2. Economy class tickets are oversold, but there are vacancies in business class, so high-end passengers who buy economy class tickets will be upgraded free of charge, and economy class seats will be available for oversold passengers.

3. In order to prevent oversold passengers from claiming compensation, oversold passengers are upgraded.

Change the price difference of the lower cabin in the air ticket to the price difference of the higher cabin, or change the price difference of the low discount air ticket to the high discount air ticket or to the full price air ticket. The same discount is gone, but when the ticket needs to be rescheduled, the upgrade procedure will usually be done first.

Generally speaking, most people who can enjoy this service are airline members, such as China Eastern Airlines "China Eastern Airlines Miles" and Dragonair "Zuncui Club".
