© iNewsTraveling is always a great pleasure and what’s even greater is spending an unforgettable experience while staying in a fancy and luxurious hotel. While this seems quite impossible, especially for those traveling with a tight budget, staying in a luxurious hotel room during your vacation is not a travel legend!
Yes, you read it right! It is very possible and you can even upgrade to a posh for free! Luckily, there are many smart ways to persuade a hotel to give you a free upgrade and the easiest one would be directly asking for it!
Choose Your Timing Carefully!
The time in which you decide to pack your travel bag hit the road to the airport, and fly to your long awaited destination matters a lot! And that’s very simply because traveling during the peak season can be quite expensive.
In addition, the hotels can be full, which means that your chances of getting a free hotel upgrade are very low! However, if you have no other choice but to travel in peak season.
Then, you might need to keep in mind this useful trick: normally business hotels are more likely to have many empty rooms during the weekends while the opposite is true for a trendy city center base. This means that business hotels are more likely in a position to offer you an upgrade during the weekend!
Joining The Loyalty Scheme Of The Hotel
Airlines upgrade their passengers on a flight by looking at their most frequent trips that belong to the loyalty scheme of the airline, same as hotels. They mostly upgrade those who have stayed in this hotel way too often or have a membership in their loyalty scheme.
If you enjoy staying in hotels with an international chain like Hilton, Marriott or Hyatt, then make sure to join the scheme before you book a room in order to add your membership number to the booking.
