    Traveling alone I find getting free upgrades reasonably easy – all about being presentable, friendly and a bit of luck. I approach the person at the check-in gate (not downstairs at bag check-in). With genuine friendliness I ask how their day is. I then trying to be humorous, a bit cheeky, ‘volunteer’ that if the flight is full, or even if not, I have no problem being moved to business or first class. After a brief conversation I then sit where I can be seen, but do not again bother. When I was single (now married and doing this for 2 people MUCH harder), was upgraded 9 out of 10 flights both domestic and international.
