Flight upgrades, a little piece of luxury?

Is it really worth upgrading on your flights?      
Well I have just been lucky enough to be chosen for a complimentary upgrade on the new Emirates airbus to business class on my recent holiday and the experience was amazing. I loved every single minute and it made a massive difference to the start of my holidays. It can be very expensive to upgrade your flights but sometimes it can really make a difference to your holidays particularly if you're fairly tall and don't want to be feeling like a sardine!

Sometimes it can be nearly a necessity with the terrible seat pitches the airlines offer now so the prices, if the deal is good can be out weighed. Especially when you have the added benefits of access to the lounges with food and beverages, larger seat pitch/widths and extra luggage allowances to name a few. And as we know luggage is not restricted on cruise ships so even better to try and take advantage of packing everything but the kitchen sink which im sure most people will agree try to do!

One way of getting round the extra cost maybe to just to upgrade on one of the legs of the flights. This might also be more helpful if you have an overnight flight and want to arrive at your destination more refreshed and less jet lagged.

I have added the link for a good site to check for general infomation about seat pitchs and reviews on airlines below:
