There are certain aspects of the trip experience that are totally worth the upgrade - and some that are not. But how do you know which ones are worth it?

Huffpost Own shared some tips and tricks to choosing the best times to upgrade and the times when it's just not worth it to shell out the Benjamins.

For example, travel expert Cheryl Rosner advised people to watch out for package deals in the article:

These all-inclusive packages tend to include add-ons you wouldn't have chosen in the first place, said Rosner - and the costs are multiplied when you're staying more than one night.

She does however advise travelers to sign up for rewards programs.

Even if you don't travel frequently, it's well worth it to sign up for the free hotel loyalty program, said Rosner. Programs often offer perks like minibar credits, upgrades and insider deals.

Many of the things we think we should splurge on are not worth the extra price, but Rosner provided ways to get in on the best upgrades without the hefty fees. Find out how you can get in on these awesome travel hacks.
