Put the word ‘upgrade’ together with ‘free’ and you’ve got the most desired and yet, least obtained treasure in the entire world of tourism – a FREE UPGRADE.

Deny as they might, travellers relish in the idea of spreading out in Business Class with an Economy Class ticket, receiving a private tour for the same cost as a group trip AND relaxing in balcony view suite without spending beyond the average twin-share.

Oh free upgrades!

In a Q&A with Mint, English Chef & Restaurateur Jason Atherton said requesting a corner room is as good as getting an upgrade because the accommodation is “generally bigger” than the rest.

“Think about how they utilize the space in a building: the corner suites are usually bigger than the middle suites, and more interesting, too: You get better views.”

There you have it, now stroll past the troll to your upgraded room.
