It’s true, if you get a seat assignment at the time of booking you are guaranteed to sit in first class. If not, you might end up in coach if the flight is full (no partial refund). So make sure they can confirm your seat !
But please don’t start asking us travel agents for Y-ups ! First of all, nobody uses this term. Second, and most important, travel agents will automatically offer you the cheapest first class fare and tell you what the restrictions are. US airlines don’t give commissions anymore, so whether we sell you a $ 1000 ticket or a $ 400 ticket, it doesn’t matter to us as we charge the same service fee.
Once we punch in first class in our system the upgrade fares also come up if available. And there is nothing more annoying then a customer asking me to check P-class, A-class and so on.

I invented Y-ups… it was a ploy in the 80′s try and reduce the amount of safety pins used to hold Ben Johnson’s eye lids open when he ran.

I also invented traveling and Y-ups are as real as the hair on Martha Stewart’s upper lip

I can’t believe I have to be the first person to mention the distinct appearance of FAP in this article.

If you’re exposing the secret, how long can it last?

I bet it depends on the airline and the codes that they utilize.

What he doesn’t tell you is that a lot of times you’re actually buying a coach seat, with the possibility of upgrading to first class, if there’s room.

Sorry, but that article is rubbish… I’m a travel agent and I can assure you that those fares mentioned (F, A and P) are not available cheap, F being the most expensive fare available on any aircraft… I know of no airlines that would let you have a F, A or P fare for less than it’s value… Now, sometimes, a P fare is a few dollars cheaper than the most expensive coach fare Y (but not much…), which is still expensive… So, the only way to travel in first at the price of coach is to show up early for checkin, well dressed, and let the airline choose you for upgrade, providing that the coach cabin is overbooked… et voilà.

That was some great advice. I knew it was possible to get cheaper fares, but didn’t know the name for them.
