  • Be flexible with your travel dates and hold out for early bird or last-minute sales on business or first-class airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer first or business-class seats at a fraction of the normal price. Skip the full-service carriers and go with one of these cheaper options.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some airlines hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a rewards program.
