I currently know
1. Pretend its your first time flying and you are afraid the plane will crash and you tell the F/A's you would feel alot better if you knew how the plane is flown (Only gets you in for a short time)
2. Ask at Check in (Works for some airlines)
3. Start crying in the midle of the gate making the pilot come out and offer you to see the cockpit and the mechanics to take you outside for a walkaround, (I Was 4 years old and my dad told me about that Aloha airlines flight where the roof got ripped off.)

- Go on a time machine and go back to the 70s when people were less paranoid about flying
- Get a flight on a small plane meant for general aviation (you wont be in the cockpit, but you will see it )

I would just ask the cabin crew, break in by threatening everyone with a bomb strapped to your waist and a butterfly knife in your hand. That method always tends to get some results
That would also get you a free guided tour of FBI interrogation facilities (or the equivalent if not in the states)
Not a bad deal

No, you're not home. You're flying with us.

Most airlines do not even let you into the cockpit anymore, you would have to be an airline employee to get into the cockpit. I have managed to go a whole flight in the jumpseats, there was a lot of leg room.
SAS Policy from 2011 states that no one is allowed into the cockpit while the plane is in the air, or engines is running no matter if it is airline employees or other people.

Nobody at all? SAS has entirely automated pilot-less aircraft?

A real answer to your question is no, an average passenger can't fly jumpseat on a commercial airline. However.........Many people who know the pilot do have access to the jumpseat as long as it is not occupied by another dead heading pilot.
So...unless you know your pilot or copilot enough to ask, no.

The pilots allowed me to start the taxiing engine (the #2).

Back in 2003 (I was 6 years old), I got into the cockpit of a United B757-200, N517UA, flying UA1111 from Hartford, CT to Chicago.
The pilots allowed me to start the taxiing engine (the #2).
lucky, I never visited a cockpit (and I am to shy to ask, since its kinda childish to ask to see the cockpit if I am 14 years old )
