Fly first, pay for coach
From Lifehacker, The Consumerist.
There are many strategies for weaseling your way from coach into first class, but this one seems to be the most promising. Apparently there are special fares that give you a first class fare for coach prices. These special fares are commonly referred to as a "YUPP", and are also sometimes known as a "QUPP" and "Z".
There are several articles that confirm that this fare is legit - supposedly it’s used to compete with other carriers for certain routes. This is a must try for your next trip - and for all you hawaii residents this will net you a particularly sweet five hour ride over the Pacific if it pans out.
