How to Get Free Upgrades from Coach to Premium Economy on American, Worldwide

You can easily fly PE for less than the cost of the best seat in coach to Asia, Europe, South America, and the South Pacific if you know how, which will otherwise net you a free upgrade.

If you’ve been following FCF’s newsroom lately, you’ve seen Business Class starting at $2,000 almost every other day from the U.S. to Europe. You haven’t seen such fares to Asia and South America because they’re so rare.

The fact is that on the major airlines to Asia Business Class fares easily go for $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the route, and to South America they range from $3,100 to $4,500.
