Next time you choose your seat on a plane, opting for one at the back may be the better choice if you\u2019re chasing an upgrade.<\/p>\n
A flight attendant has revealed that this area is more likely to get you bumped to first class for free, if the flight is quiet.<\/p>\n
Cierra Mistt, who works as a flight attendant for an airline in the US, has been sharing her top tips and secrets about flying.<\/p>\n
Her recent video, shared to her 2.8 million followers on TikTok, revealed that passengers at the back of the flight were more likely to get lucky for a first class upgrade.<\/p>\n
She said in the video: “If our flight isn’t full, we have to move people for weight and balance purposes.<\/p>\n
“Normally all aircraft are tail heavy.<\/p>\n
“So if we have to move people up to the front, where do you think we are going to take them from? The back.”<\/p>\n

You should look like you travel often … it helps.<\/p>\n “Someone who is potentially due to get an upgrade can be knocked back if they aren’t dressed suitably.”<\/p>\n RELATED LINKS: Huge new approach in Aussie tourism ad<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
