    Certainly being presentable goes a long way.and holding various cards can be particularly avantageous. It is always a good idea to learn some complimentary phrases in the national language of the airline that is taking you. This has worked very well on various trips to thailand. Not the easiest language to learn, but complimenting the lady's beauty and saying 'i love you' in her native tongue, coupled with a cheeky smile seems to have a desired effect.

    If I don't get an upgrade it's only because I never ask for one. I prefer to sit in an emergency exit isle and look very fierce so that no one dares to occupy the seat right next to me - Well that's the plan anyway.
    No point in sitting 1st class if the stewardess isn't going to sit on my face.

    Chris from Poole. Good idea my man, good idea but that got me thrown off a flight and into some Spanish cell once. The best form of persuasion is a gentle word and a good head butt.

    me and my girlfriend are goin to oz in november, we paid a grand each for the tickets, and they are promotion class, do you think this will give us better chance of upgrades since they are expensive tickets? we are flying emirates. wish us luck :)

    If you are looking for a seat near an exit (for more leg room) be under 70. Airlines are pretty strict about keeping coffin dodgers form blocking the exits!
