Lufthansa's newest business class is so fresh that it's operating on a few flights only. However, if you can find them, they're worth taking.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ever wonder how airlines decide who gets a seat upgrade on flights? Airlines say it's strictly by the book: Loyal customers are rewarded based on their status in frequent flyer programs. But some flyers insist that once in a while, they get upgraded even when they've bought the cheapest seat.

Flight attendants typically do not have the authority to upgrade passengers to higher class seats or cabins without proper authorization. The decision to upgrade passengers is usually handled by the airline's ground staff or a designated team responsible for managing seat assignments and upgrades.
