# Buying a fake doctorate from the interweb
Is a great way to get free upgrades on flights. Just make sure it says 'Dr' on the ticket rather that 'Mr' or 'Ms'. On this basis, my brother and I went to Brazil on business class, both ways. Lots of free champers.

# how did they manage that?
I'm a Dr and I've never been offered an upgrade on a plane, did they ask?

# Did you have DR on the ticket?
Looking smart helps too - they won't do it if you're wearing a Led Zeppelin t-shirt.

# Dr on ticket - check
looking smart - oh dear, that's where I'm going wrong, but if you don't get upgrade you have to travel in smart clothes in cramped normal class.

# it depends on the airline as well
virgin seem more prone to upgrading scruffy Drs and BA are more prone to upgrading be-suited plebs. Easyjet will probably just ask you to have a look at the captain's gout.
