READER QUESTION
Q I’ve booked a night away in a hotel for our 25th wedding anniversary. How can I try to wangle an upgrade?
A Whenever you’re celebrating a special occasion, always let the hotel know beforehand. You might get your room upgraded or perhaps a bottle of wine or fizz will be waiting for you. If the hotel has a loyalty scheme, joining it might boost your chances. Finally, it’s always worth asking when you check in – you could be in luck!
