How to Feel Like a First Class Passenger for Free

Fancy a glass of champagne? It’s possible to get totally free flight upgrades if you sign up to the mailing list.

Traveling can be incredibly expensive on its own. Plane or train tickets, the added glass of bubbles to get you in the holiday mood, the accommodation when you arrive; it all adds up. However, there are some clever little tips that can help you enjoy a premiere travel experience, without spending any money at all. Here are the best of them!

Stories Without Spending

Getting your head stuck into a good book needn’t cost anything at all if you know where to look.

We mentioned getting stuck into a good book before, well this is how to do it for free. Audiobooks are growing massively in popularity and with that popularity comes a whole load of great deals. Audible will give any new sign up a totally free book, absolutely no catch. Sign up via their website and if you decide that one book is all you want, remember to cancel within 30 days. However, if you decide that Audible is going to be worth the $7.99 subscription, then keep going and they’ll treat you to a new book each month. 

If you’re the kind of person who signs up for a subscription with every intention of cancelling, but somehow forgets each time, then fear not. Whilst Audible might not be the thing for you, there are some audiobook providers who will give you books completely free with no subscription at all. Libby is an audiobook app created by various libraries dotted throughout the states. Although the collection on offer isn’t quite as vast as on Audible, there are some great reads on there and you run no risk of accidentally spending that subscription fee.

Spend Free Spa Day?

Depending on the type of transport you take, this one can take a few different forms. Long haul flights are perhaps the best place to start your spa day, as you’ve got a little space to yourself and all the time in the world. Not only that, but the air conditioning on flights is incredibly drying for the skin. So, if you want to arrive at your destination looking glowy rather than grizzled, here are some tips.

Face masks feel like you’re properly pampering yourself, but you’d be amazed how easy it is to make your own DIY version. All sheet masks are is a material soaked in serum. So to make your own, just take your favorite serum, mix it with a little water and soak a clean face cloth or some cotton pads in the liquid. Keep this in a ziplock bag and it’ll be fresh and ready to go when you start your journey. If you can spare a couple of cents extra then a drop of essential oil makes the whole thing feel even more luxurious.

Enjoy Totally Gratuis Gaming

If you’re embarking on a long journey, then everyone needs something to keep them amused. For some of us, there’s nothing better than a good book, and we’ll get onto how to enjoy a free one of those later. However, some of us prefer something a little more interactive. Loads of mobile games have taken to sneakily adding in paid perks, enabling you to speed through levels quicker or buy upgrades. However, there is a way to get around this and enjoy all of the fun for free.

Those who love online casino games are probably used to paying to play, but there are ways that you can play for free. Some sites like VegasSlotsOnline provides more than 7780 free online casino games . If you’re new to a site then you’re almost guaranteed to be able to get some free turns on the slot, or even a free deposit. Take them up on the offer and you could play without paying a dime for your whole journey. 

Fly First Class, For Free?!

If you can actually fly first class for free then why isn’t everyone doing it? The answer is simple, spam emails. However, if you can put up with promotional emails then there is a way you can snag upgrades totally free of charge. Simply sign up to the mailing list and loyalty card schemes of all of the airlines you fly with regularly. Not only will you accrue points with every flight you take, but you’ll be the first to hear about free upgrades. 

So, if you’re facing a long haul flight, a trans-state train ride, or even a big old road-trip, make a few preparations beforehand and you can guarantee yourself the first class treatment for a fraction of the cost.
