If you're just a regular traveler with no status on the airline who has a basic economy ticket, it doesn't matter what the heck you're wearing or how nice you are to the gate agent.
Your chances of scoring a free upgrade to first class are slim to almost none.
What is that?
Oh, this one drives me crazy.
Check-in chicken is this idea where if you don't have a seat assignment, don't check in right at the 24-hour mark.
Wait, because there's a chance as airlines shuffle people around in the
24 hours leading up to the flight, by the time you check in and they assign your seat, you might end up with like an extra legroom seat.
There was a TikToker in Europe last year who went viral by explaining her hack.
This was a discount airline in Europe.
Once online check-in begins, she keeps an eye on the seat map and watches all these middle seats and other seats disappear.
And then she hits check-in.
And in one of the cases that she reported on, she got an extra legroom seat and didn't pay anything extra.
Of course, especially on full flights.
The thing is, on these airlines, the budget airlines that don't assign seats and you don't pay for them, your chances of landing in the middle are pretty high.
And people buy tickets knowing that.
So there's nothing inherently wrong with trying this.
But I don't want to get people's hopes up in thinking that, well, I'm going to wait to the last minute and I'm going to end up with an exit row aisle.
This is the old espresso martini hack that really took off in 2024.
And it's billed as a great thing for bachelor parties, bachelorette parties.
It saves you money.
