Flying first-class feels like an unattainable dream, but there are ways to nab those plush seats for less. Frequent flyer miles are your golden ticket—hoard them through travel credit cards and loyalty programs. Keep an eye on last-minute flight deals, as airlines often slash prices to fill premium cabins. You might also score a bargain by bidding for upgrades on select airlines, turning your economy ticket into a first-class experience with minimal added expense.
