Flight attendant reveals 'guaranteed' way to be upgraded to First Class

Travelling long haul can be tough, and who doesn't dream of the luxury of First Class?

Well, now an air hostess has shared the secret life hack that is 'guaranteed' to mean you get the sweet First Class experience when you travel, and it's not as hard as you think.

TikToker and air hostess Cierra Mistt shares her experience from travelling the world and lets people know the tricks of the trade to get the most out of travelling.

If you want to be in with the chance of escaping economy and enjoying the plush First Class experience, Mistt explains the two important factors.

The first is sitting in the very last row of the plane.

Mistt elaborates: “You might be thinking that sounds a little weird. But let me tell you why.

"On flights that are full, we normally have to move passengers for weight and balance purposes.

"And when we do that, it's normally come back to the front. And if that's the case, the flight attendants are gonna choose the people in that very last row to go up front because then they can sit down there after doing their service because it's a lot more comfy to sit in those passenger seats than it is the jump seat.

"But if you're watching this, keep this on the down low because we're literally not supposed to be sitting in those seats."

The second trick is dependent on whether or not you’re on a full flight, with Mist saying this way is 'even easier', and it works '99% of the time'.

Mistt explained: “Nowadays, you'll know if your flight is full and even overbooked because the gate agents will normally make an announcement at the beginning telling you that it's overbooked and that they need volunteers.

"They'll normally start really low at like $200 to $500 as an airport voucher. "Here's what you do instead. First go to the gate agent.

"Second, give them a price and say that you want that in cash.

"Last, but not least, when the gate agent is rebooking you for that next flight, make sure that they put you in first class to compensate for your time that you're losing because you had to get kicked from that flight.”

The hack has gone down well on TikTok, as one person commented: "I picked the last seats for a trip to Amsterdam and was moved to business class and had 4 seats to myself…both ways!!"

Another shared: "You can get cash instead of a voucher?"

Mistt responded: "Sure can - it’s in the policy."
