Steph flew home to the Gold Coast from Melbourne on Rex Airlines and got an upgrade with lounge access for very cheap - she just took a gamble. She changed her ticket to business class simply by placing a bet on the same day as her flight. She was lucky enough to win such auctions three times.

"I did it again - I got an upgrade to business class for $25," Steph said in a TikTok video.

She had also previously upgraded from economy to business with Virgin on a flight from the Gold Coast to Bali, however this was much more expensive at $420 as it was an international flight.

In a viral TikTok video, Steph documents his day before boarding and encourages all passengers to try applying for an upgrade at least once.

“I won’t lie, it was a glorified business lounge with Nutri-Grain and other cereals. The coffee machine was impressive so I had my double espresso with banana. When I boarded my flight, there was no one next to me, which means you could bet on this flight too. We could become neighbors for $25,” the girl said.

She ordered a "health plate" - a salad with avocado, poached egg, hazelnuts and chickpeas - along with a plate of fruit. Steph also got a warm bun.

“Remember: bid on a business class flight at the last minute and enter the lowest amount. It works!" - she said.

Bidding and Bidding

In the follow-up video, she explained in detail how to bet on business seats.

"Most airlines will send you an email saying 'Upgrade to business class by submitting an application,'" she said.

“My theory is that if you bid on the day of your flight or at the last minute, all the people who were either outbid or don't have business class will have given up by then,” she says. “I’ve done it twice on domestic flights with Rex and I’ve done it on Virgin economy flights.”

Passengers traveling on Virgin Australia, Qantas or Rex flights can apply for a seat in Business Class.

The airline usually sends reminder emails to customers to place their bet, however, as an alternative, travelers can simply log into their account and place their bet through the airline's website.

Customers can bid on whatever price they feel comfortable spending on an upgrade, but the minimum amount depends on the distance and whether the flight is international or domestic.
