Mine is more of a trick of patience. I don't get the usual upgrade in seats, but usually the room I want! I would always sit in the terminal and wait for EVERYONE to board the plane. Once they were all on, I go ahead and board.... 85% of the time I get on the plane and will see 2 seats that are empty... I then proceed to sit in the isle seat and put my bag on the window seat until take-off. :) On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 7:15 PM, k41zen at live.co.uk <k41zen at live.co.uk>wrote:
Everyone probably already knows this and I'm the last to discover it but I found a way to jump the long boarding queue to get on the plane quicker. 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
