Or you could just wait till almost everyone is on the plane already and there is no line, I hate standing in line waiting for people trying to shove their huge carry on lugage into a overhead that can possible contain it.
I once jumped the long x-ray queues because I saw a sign that said priority lane, by invitation only so I said to the nice lady "Can I have an invite" and she said yes and sent me through the empty fast lane. For getting on to the plane, I agree, just say sat down till the queue has gone, your seat will still be there and the flight won't leave without you.

Just before the check-in desk opened I went up to the check-in staff and asked them for an upgrade from economy class. I explained that we were newly engaged and this would be a perfect ending to the perfect holiday - blah blah blah. I was told to talk to the purser on board the plane. I asked how I can distinguish them and when would be best to approach them and the kind lady said that she would need to send me on board before anyone else giving the staff on the plane enough time to handle the query. Check in opened, she called us forward, checked us in and then sent us onto the plane before anyone else. Up to you if you want to talk to the purser or not. No-one was expecting us. I did find them in the end but declined the upgrade offer due to the ridiculous $4,000 price tag. Anyone else know any similar SE tricks? _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com_______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
