You’ve seen it on television series of couples wishing for that upgrade on a flight to their honeymoon destination or a free dinner at a resort. But there’s actually ways to add a little more excitement to your honeymoon without breaking the bank or secretly hoping airline or resort staff upgrade you.
Travel Lingual, a website dedicated to making travel accessible and easy, compiled advice for honeymooners about to embark on their trip.
Wear Honeymoon-Themed Clothing
Items like “Just Married” shirts or “his” and “hers” attire gives staff the strong hint you’re on a honeymoon. Attire like this clearly indicates you recently married and increases the chances hotels, restaurants or tour operators will offer upgrades or special treats.
Tell People
Don’t be afraid to tell airport or hotel staff, flight attendants, wait staff, cruise personnel or others you’re on a honeymoon. Many places offer special treats or upgrades for newlyweds, just be sure to not come off as demanding or rude.
Special Occasion Packages
Many resorts and hotels offer special honeymoon packages with extras like spa treatments, bottles of Champagne and romantic dinners. These packages can be a great deal.
Ask for Freebies
Sometimes the best way to get freebies or upgrades is to simply ask. Politely inquire about complimentary upgrades or amenities at check-in or when booking a reservation. There’s nothing to lose.
Join Loyalty Programs
Sign up for airline and hotel loyalty programs before your trip to accumulate points or miles. Collecting points or miles lets you redeem them later for priority check-in, free upgrades and other perks. The same applies to travel rewards credit cards.
Plan Activities with Freebies
Research local activities or attractions offering freebies like free tastings or guided tours. Some places even give honeymooners complimentary entry or discounts.
