If i ask for a free upgrade on eurostar, will I get it? or just look silly?

Question

Travelling to Brussels on monday from Waterloo, and fancy an upgrade...but without paying!

Answer 1

at airports people who usally get free upgrades are smartly dressed, polite people, who are organised and nice to the staff, if your like that you could ask, its worth a try

Answer 2

You'll get laughed at.  They're not like planes where they over book, the trains always have some spare seats...

Answer 3

Free upgrades depend on a lot of factors but usualy only occur when 2nd class is full.

If you ask and don't get... you are in the same position, they won't mind you asking but if they say no, leave it there

If you ask and get a seat... you lost nothing and gained a nice new 1st class seat

The way you ask would be important

Answer 4

i agree with ac and I will give you the negotiation side, you need to be quite demanding and ask what they can offer a good passenger that travels frequently with this service (OR IF YOU DONT THEN ASK WHAT DEAL THEY CAN DO!!) even free meal or something man, just always look for a benefit to you and them remember

BENEFIT TO YOU AND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

happy travels mate and the absolute best of luck!
