As a top tier frequent flyer, I can tell you that your FF status is what determines it. In an oversell situation in coach, then it becomes a game of chance, and the person who upgrades you doesn't even see you usually until you get all the way to the gate agent. And at that point they just start clearing by random, unless your were specifically a dick to them, then they aren't giving you crap.

But looking decent usually helps in any interaction in the airport and on board, that's not really a question.

^That sounds like the antics of offshore North Sea Tigers and drill hands who must be carefully chaperoned to their destination and then be kept in a highly controlled, thought-free and alcohol starved environment, less they start making decisions for themselves and using their initiative which will inevitably lead to them having farting competitions in public, behaving irrationally especially bare back riding the local whores in Nigeria, letting off fire extinguishers in hotels and consuming large amounts of alcohol the night before they have to give a blood or urine sample.

As an old director once told me: never, ever place an offshore worker on a project on land, they need to be kept at sea for as long as humanely possible!

Gold.

If I didn't wanted to impress people I reckon I would just dress like the rest of the slobs out there!

Is Patrick your dad?
