What about dress code? I imagine that if you are in your 5 year old trackie dacks, sloppy joe and have decided the the trip started yesterday so a shave wasn't essential, that the chances of any special treatment is low. I dress in the smart casual uniform and have this feeling that it makes a difference on some occasions.

A little bit of non-patronising banter seems to go a long way as well. I recall the last time I flew BA that I mentioned the on-line check in facility that the CSO wasn't aware of. I explained it to her and she was quite thankful. Whether the upgrade from WT+ to business was related to that I can't be sure, but I know I never got to sit in the seat I had chosen because the recline was much better.
