Free upgrades... for the brazen
I was on KLM from Zurich to AMS, then AMS to GVA last week. On the Zurich to Amsterdam leg, while the cabin crew was not looking, two separate passengers moved themselves from economy to business while we were still on the ground in Zurich, but after the headcount had been done. Both were then given the upgraded service. I have not seen that trick before. I think this could only happen on the CityHopper type runs. On the 737s, the crew seem to have a list of names of C passengers and use your name when serving you. Anyway, what do you think of this upgrade method?
