How can I get a free upgrade from coach to 1st class on my Continental flight from Houston to El Paso.?
I'm not a one pass member and don't have any miles. Is there a way to still get an upgrade? Thanks so much!

On a flight that short I wouldn't worry about getting upgraded, you'll barely have time for a drink. Plus, it's pretty hard to get an upgrade without using frequent flyer miles and especially if you're not a member of their frequent flyer program. Why don't you join their program? I'm sure you can do it online and it doesn't cost anything.
2 :
Just be polite with a smile on your face and ask if there are any upgrades going that day. They can only say no, but sometimes they say yes. Staff at airports have to put up with a lot of abuse some days from disgruntled passengers. If you are polite it can go a long way.
3 :
In addition to the above dress appropriately for business class if you dress like a bum like I do when travelling you can be sure that you are NOT going to get an upgrade. Next best thing is to ask for an exit row at the ticket counter or at the gate sometimes you can luck in with a bit of extra leg room.
4 :
I hate to say it, but in most cases you will have to pay for an upgrade.
5 :
Houston to El Paso is a pretty busy business route even though it is not a long flight. You'll be competing with a lot of frequent fliers for the upgrade so don't get your hopes up. The best you can wish for is a discounted, paid upgrade, probably $50 for a flight that short. But even that is unrealistic. Face it, if the airline is going to give anyone a free upgrade, they are going to start with their frequent fliers who have Elite status cause those are the guys spending all the money. Then they will move on to the frequent fliers who have no status, and that is very rare--- they would rather fly with empty seats in First than upgrade someone who doesn't do a lot of business with them. So you can ask nicely and dress nicely and come up with a line about it being your birthday or something and you're still in the back of the plane.

Direct Flight from Houston to St Thomas
Direct Flight from Houston to St Thomas?
I am moving very soon, but I am having trouble finding a direct flight from Houston to St Thomas. This is important because my dog will be coming and I need a direct flight if at all possible. So far, I have only found direct flights from Albany or North Carolina. Any ideas where I could find if any airline goes from Houston to St Thomas directly?

To find any cheap domestic flights first try looking on large travel databases such as: www.pricelines.com; www.expedia.com; www.travelocity.com; Also in Yahoo search for: "low fares", "cheap tickets". Also, if you are getting any national newspapers(New York Times, Wall Streeet Journal, USA Today...) there are often ads for low fare tickets. Delta and Southwest have the lowest fares. Delta has probably the lowest fares, because they are under Chapter 11 and that gets taxes off them. If you have any question e-mail me: Antonpug@comcast.net

Hate to disagree - Southwest Airline flies that route, and never puts their airfare on any of those resources. The carriers mentioned all change planes in another city, and you'd be better off shopping directly with southwest on their website http://www.southwest.com and Continental on their website http://www.continental.com - Continental will match airfare with Southwest, and their flight would be non-stop, but on a regional jet. Southwest's flight may have an intermediate stop, and will be on a 737.
5 :
www.expedia.com or www.travelocity.com Since you are flying from Houston (IAH I presume), you may get flights with Continental.

12-15 hours... at least $1,000
2 :
I don't think there's any direct flights from Houston to Hong Kong, but Cathay Pacific lists the flight time from LA to Hong Kong at 14:45, add about 3 hours from Houston to LA and the total flight time should be around 17:45 or so. It can vary depending on the time of year and wind conditions, and around $1,000 is a good estimate of the cost although you might be able to find cheaper fares during slower times of the year.
