My husband and I didn't get upgraded by Virgin on our honeymoon, so I'm a bit pissed at them. Not to mention their crappy plane from the 90's.
I think the biggest key to getting upgraded is the rewards scheme. I'm almost a silver member with Emirates so I think I'll have a better chance of getting upgraded then!
I'm planning on a trip to the US next year and I'm already doing my research onto how to get a free upgrade. A little white lie about proposing to my boyfriend got me an upgrade to a suite on our last holiday, so I'm hoping that was my training ground!
It happened to me once on BA (to Hong Kong so totally worth it on a 13 hour flight - bliss). I was a Clubcard holder but I think the things that made the difference were that I was a solo traveller and had paid for Premium Economy rather than the cheapest ticket going in economy and that I had previously flown full fare business class for work with BA on a number of occasions.
That is a gorgeous colour anyhow and I hope it becomes widely available.
Best way to get an upgrade without paying for it is using your frequent flyer miles. I did get an upgrade once when I walked on board in tears into a crowded flight. But my grandpa had just died so I wouldn't recommend it.
I must be incredibly lucky as I have been upgraded twice with VA - first of all en-route to NY up to Business, then First Class on the way back. I didn't ask for it, but I do think the check in girl thought I was 'someone' as she kept looking at me like I had a TV on my head, as did the crew in First. Enjoyed a nice mani/pedi on the way back and all the lush cowshed products.. Amazing!
Your sense of entitlement knows no bounds. Stop blagging/blogging/begging freebies & being sour when they don't come to you. Sour! Eww. Have dignity girl & pay for what you want. Companies & prs are not your parents or husband.

Ohh I love it!!! Ive never been offered an upgrade either and I've tried all the tricks in the book ;)
Dear BBB,
I think the people at VA should send you the lipstick and the gift tag should be a First Class ticket for your next flight with them....
You've given them free PR by telling us all about the lipstick so you've earned your seat right???
I hope you get to First Class ~ be sure to take a picture of you at the bar on board and post it so we can all see. Fingers and toes crossed...

If that's what the colour looks like on, that's beautiful. I love a pinky-red.
And sorry, I haven't got the answer to getting upgraded either. My SIL managed it once on an Air Canada flight, but she did work them at the time.

Why are you do obsessed with getting an
Upgrade?! I've been flying for 30+ years and only ever been upgraded once! That's cos my Sid works for them.

Stupid thingy wouldn't let me change or add to my comment! Anyway, it's definitely not a right! X

That is a beautiful shade of red. I too hope that it becomes more widely available before long.
