Some airlines, like USAir, sell booklets of upgrade certificates, at an average cost of $15 per certificate. Of course, with both programs, you won't always be able to get first class seating. The other method is to fly on an overbooked flight where first class is underbooked. If you have a confirmed reservation, the airline will usually prefer to upgrade your ticket over bumping you. Even though American gold upgrade stickers have an expiration date, American ticket agents rarely turn someone down because they tried to use expired upgrade stickers. The same goes for similar programs at other airlines. (It doesn't hurt to try.) Wearing business attire probably helps your chances of getting a free upgrade. Upgrades are often at the discretion of the gate agent. If you look like a businessman, you'll get treated better. So try wearing a suit the next time you ask. On the other hand, if you look like bum, you probably won't get the upgrade, if for no other reason than to not degrade the appearance of first class.
