Once you buy your normal airline tickets, you\u2019ll get your standard confirmation email. Sometime in the future, you may get a separate email asking if you\u2019d like to bid on first- or business-class seating. It will direct you to a weblink where you can do the actual bidding. All you need to do is set your bid amount. If you\u2019re selected for an upgrade, you\u2019ll get a confirmation bid email and your credit card will be charged before your flight. If don&#8217;t receive this email, call your airline to ask how their program works, if they have one.

Sorry, but you won\u2019t get a first class seat for $1!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember that you\u2019re competing with other flyers\u2014while you want to get a great deal, bidding the minimum amount may not be the best strategy. Consider bidding more than the minimum amount if it\u2019s within your budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When bidding, look into the perks that are associated with the upgraded seat. This can help you better decide if you\u2019ll be getting a great deal. For example, a long-haul flight that includes a comfortable seat, unlimited alcohol, and quality meals may be well worth a $300 ticket upgrade price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider bidding on weekday flights, as there are likely fewer people on your flight compared to busier days like Saturday or Sunday. You may have a better chance at winning your bid this way!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Do some research online to see what has worked for other travelers. This can help you better gauge your own chances of winning an upgrade bid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47693 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp.jpeg\" alt=\"Orbitz, app, iPhone, travel, deals\" width=\"600\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp-300x50.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/OrbitzApp-400x67.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations!
