We Asked Top Travel Advisors How to Get an Upgrade - Here's What They Said
Briefly

"My best advice is to be kind. Make connections with people at the properties, build on those relationships, and most of all, treat others as you wish to be treated yourself." - Andrea Grisdale, IC Bellagio
"I cannot stress enough the importance of planning early for peak season travel. I always encourage my clients to book as far in advance as possible to get the best availability and take advantage of any early booking discounts. While last-minute deals may pop up occasionally, they are usually for leftover inventory, which translates to the least desirable or most overpriced accommodations." - Erin Correia, Adventure Life
"Book early, be flexible, listen to suggestions, and, of course, allow a qualified travel advisor to help you curate your trip. Don't focus on loyalty programs (some of the best international hotels are not affiliated with large chains that provide points for a stay). Instead, find lesser-known properties or brands that offer a better guest experience." - Rob Clabbers, Q Cruise + Travel
"Travelers can get upgrades by planning ahead and using our preferred agency program." - Keith Waldon, Departure Lounge
