Who knew it was that easy to get into first class?

A flight attendant has shared some of the inside secrets that flyers don't usually get to know- including the best way to get bumped into first class.

We're all dreaming of a foreign holiday.

But we know for sure that when we do get to go away, it probably won't be in first class.

That might all change now thanks to TikTok user @Cierra_mistt.

This would be the stuff of dreams, and more than likely something none of us have ever gotten to do.

We all think there has to be a special reason to get bumped up to first class.

It turns out, however, being polite and friendly to your air-host is the best way to get an upgrade.

It's nice to be nice

The video racked up over three million views.

Cierra confidently said:  "One of the easiest ways to get free upgrades is literally just being nice to your gate agent and fight attendant.

"The miracles we can work when we're given some Starbucks or a bag of chocolates, especially those long days where we have back-to-back flights and don't even have time to go get some food."

She also said that passengers are sometimes moved from the seats right at the back on the plane to the more expensive ones at the front, but it's not simply a matter of "being nice".

Cierra said: "Normally if our flight isn't full, we have to move people for weight and balance purposes. That being said, normally all aircrafts are tail-heavy, so if we have to move people up to the front, where do you think we're going to take them from? The back."

Who knows! You might just land yourself a first class upgrade on your next flight just by being nice.
