    Any chance of success in asking for a free upgrade?

    I've flown hundreds of times over the last 35 years and I've never had an upgrade. I've never asked for one either. Still kicking myself for not taking up the offer once to pay $100 for an upgrade to 1st class on a LAX-HNL flight in the 80s or 90s. A friend in the USA tells me that Continental...
