How to get a free upgrade to first class on a plane
Travelers often wonder how to secure an upgrade to first class without paying the premium price. According to a flight attendant, there are several strategies passengers can employ to increase their chances. Firstly, loyalty to an airline is crucial; frequent flyers and those with elite status are more likely to receive upgrades. Additionally, booking directly with the airline rather than through third-party sites can improve your odds, as can being flexible with your travel dates and times.
Dressing smartly and arriving early can also make a difference. While airlines generally prioritize upgrades based on status and fare class, a well-dressed passenger who checks in early may catch the staff's attention. It's also beneficial to be polite and friendly to the airline staff, as they have the discretion to upgrade passengers at their own judgment.
Lastly, if you're celebrating a special occasion, such as a honeymoon or birthday, it doesn't hurt to mention it. While not guaranteed, some flight attendants might consider this when deciding on upgrades. Overall, while there's no surefire way to get a free upgrade, combining these strategies can certainly improve your chances.
Recently, the 'Maldives of Europe' also got new flights from the UK for £19.99.
Plus, Skyscanner has a price drop tool that finds the cheapest flights and it could save you hundreds.

I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park
Plus, free activities for the school summer holidays RIDE ON I visited the UK's new National Fairground attraction – with rides rescued from a much-loved abandoned theme park Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPOTTING the vintage helter skelter taking pride of place outside the new National Fairground Museum at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth, my little boy could hardly wait to give it a go. We were among the first visitors to be wowed by the heritage rides and attractions at the museum's grand opening at the start of half term, after its relocation from Dingles in Devon over the winter. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 The new National Fairground Museum is located at Statfold Country Park near Tamworth Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 Many of the attractions inside the museum have been relocated from the now abandoned Dingles in Devon Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here It's a feast for your eyes and ears the moment you arrive at the purpose-built venue, with fairground artwork adorning the walls, a model of Popeye riding a rocket suspended from the ceiling and a hall of mirrors to give everyone a grin. We were even greeted by a fairground organ playing classics and modern tunes. Once inside, you could take a turn on all the old rides, including a ghost train, bumper cars, merry-go-round, Shaw's Moonrocket and Edwards' Chariot Racer. We loved the old arcade machines that cost 2p or 10p a go. I will warn you that the old rides take no prisoners - the bumper cars certainly go far faster than any modern-day dodgem I've driven! It's not the first time we've visited Statfold - we even celebrated my youngest's fourth birthday there as he's a huge railway fan. The new fairground museum sits perfectly on a site that already offers steam trains, vintage vehicles, soft play, climbing wall, roller disco and crazy golf. Being easily accessible in the middle of the country makes this the perfect spot for visitors to experience all the fun of the fair and more besides. We've had loads of great family days out at Statfold and it's been brilliant to see how it's evolved since we first started visiting when we moved nearby in 2021. Brand new adults playground opens in central London The train-themed playground on your way in is a hint of what's to come inside, but once you've prised your kids off the wooden play equipment, they're sure to be impressed by the roundhouse entrance hall, complete with turntable and vintage vehicles galore. Beyond is a cafe and exhibition space, with a soft play and climbing wall off to one side and a courtyard leading to the train platforms at the back. There's a bouncy castle and slide for children under 150cm and garden games. You can board a light railway taking visitors to a nearby woodland and then on to the fairground museum and nearby retro roller disco or enjoy a ride in an old carriage pulled by a steam train. 7 Lots of fairground art features on the walls and there is a vintage helter skelter Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 At the fairground museum, you can buy tokens to pay for the rides Credit: Catherine Lofthouse We bought a whole-site ticket which covered entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains. At the fairground museum, we bought tokens to pay for the rides, with most being three tokens per ride. The smaller children's rides were two tokens each. If you buy a ticket just for the fairground museum, it costs £5 per person, which includes three tokens. Extra tokens cost £1 each, or there are bundles like 12 tokens for £10. Family tickets to Statfold for two adults and two children cost £57.50 on peak days. 7 A whole-site ticket covers entry into all the attractions and unlimited rides on the trains Credit: Catherine Lofthouse 7 There is also a family summer pass that costs £70 Credit: Catherine Lofthouse Extra tickets for the weekend roller disco or the climbing wall can be added on. There's also a family summer pass for £70, which covers unlimited visits from June until September. Not all the Dingles attractions have moved to the Midlands - some have gone to the Hollycombe Working Steam Museum in Hampshire. But with top theme park Drayton Manor and its Thomas Land area for train-mad tots only about 15 minutes away from Statfold, you could easily combine the two for a weekend full of funfair thrills and train rides galore. There is so much to get steamed up about at Statfold. We'll be rushing back there to ride the rails and enjoy all the fun of the fair in 2025. Free summer holiday activites You don't need to spend a penny to keep your kids entertained this summer... Museums - Some museums offer free entry to some exhibits, and also host events for kids. Parks - Head to your local park to enjoy the playgrounds, games areas, courts and splash pads. Some even have trails for kids to enjoy. Beach - It doesn't have to be sunny to enjoy the beach, you can go rock pooling, crabbing, make sandcastles, or enjoy a walk along the headland. Library - If the weather is awful, head indoors and borrow books, audiobooks, dvds. Cooking - Have your own mini bake-off, or Come Dine With Me challenge. Playdates - Invite friends over for an afternoon of socialising. Boardgames - Enjoy a little sibling rivalry with rounds of Monopoly or stretch your brain with Scrabble. The Sun's Cyann Fielding also recently headed to the new UK indoor playground where children are banned – it was like being back in primary school. Plus, an iconic UK theme park which suddenly closed as an attraction has been 'saved' – but is being forced to relocate across Britain.

The best Indian restaurant in London, according to the 2025 English Curry Awards
On the hunt for your next great Indian meal? We feel you. If you've already worked your way through our list of the best Indian and south Asian restaurants in London, then you're probably in need of extra inspiration. Step forward the English Curry Awards. Run by Oceanic Awards, the annual competition exists to 'celebrate the rich tapestry of flavours that the curry industry brings to the English culinary landscape', and was held on August 11 in Birmingham. Worthy work, we think you'll agree. While London didn't scoop the top prize of overall national champion – that went to Sherkhan of Alnwick, a locally beloved restaurant and take-away in Northumberland – there were a bunch of regional winners and London 's greatest Indian restaurant was named as Masala Inn, which you'll find on the fringes of south London in Bexleyheath. A 'contemporary Indian restaurant and grill', Masala Inn's menu features a number of signature dishes, including Goan fish masala, creamy malabar, and lamb kaalia, as well as a host of biriani and balti dishes. Masala Inn fans have been showing their love of the restaurant on TripAdvisor, with a not too shabby 4.7 rating. One wrote: 'Everything we ordered was fantastic, especially the Malabar chicken; so rich and creamy!' Another added: 'The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is outstandingly good. I've tried many of the items on the menu, the railway curry is excellent, full of tender lamb and flavour.'

New train route links seaside town famous for sea glass beach and dolphins to UK capital
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE seaside town of Seaham in County Durham is getting new direct links to London Kings Cross for the very first time. The train route will link the quaint coastal town with the UK capital from this winter. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 New direct trains will link London to Seaham for the first time Credit: Alamy 4 The town in County Durham is known for its sea glass that washes up on the beach Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here Grand Central recently secured approval from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to launch four daily direct trains each way, from December 2025. Anyone from the south looking for a coastal escape in the north can expect great things from Seaham. The town in County Durham has a mile-long shingle beach and on it you'll be able to collect sea glass, which is scattered along the shore. The treasure is man made glass which has ended up in the sea, where it is then shaped by the water over several years and is eventually washed up on the shore. There's more sea glass in Seaham than in other beach destinations because during the Victorian era, it had a glass bottle factory where waste was put into the sea. It's not uncommon to see dolphins jumping out of the water in Seaham either. One visitor to Seaham Beach said: "Dolphins and glass beads... what could be better?" They added: "Staying on the beach gave us a prime viewing of the pod of dolphins that swam along the coast catching fish." There's even a mole sanctuary - a designated patch of land that lets the little subterranean rodents live peacefully in the soil. The English seaside town with no arcades or rides but named the best in the UK 4 If you're lucky, you can spot dolphins off the shore Credit: Alamy Seaham is a popular spot for holidaymakers and when we chatted to some travel influencers about their best UK beach spots, the coastal town came up trumps. It was praised for its golden sands and craggy rock pools, which are particularly fun for toddlers. Currently, getting from London Kings Cross to Seaham includes changes at Hartlepool, Newcastle, Northallerton and Thornaby. According to the cost of a ticket from London to Seaham can be as little as £27.50 when booked in advance. On the day fares can be as much as £200 at peak times. The journey takes three hours 46 minutes at the very least - so the time is expected to shorten with the direct journey. Further along the coast, you'll find one of the top trending beach destinations in the world. And check out the best-rated UK seaside towns for families picked by our experts – including Britain's sunniest beach & stays from £26.
