seat upgrade
Flying more comfortably
A seat upgrade is a move to a better seat than originally assigned, typically on an airplane.
Airlines offer upgrades to first or business class for frequent flyers, auction them at check-in, or grant them when economy is oversold.
I used my miles for a seat upgrade on the flight to Tokyo.
The term applies similarly to theaters, trains, or sporting events.
