My son and I will be ZED'ing over to the UK in late January and I was wondering if anyone knows of any proverbial secret handshakeor any other tip that might give us the possibility of cabin upgrade on either BA or Virgin.
Our routing is SFO-LHR
It's in the hand shake but not all of it. Here is what you do. You get your buddy pass and wait at the gate, and when they call your name, you thank the ticket lady and extend your hand to shake hers. You then rub your thumb on her index finger knuckle and pull her close towards you and whisper in her ear. "I'm in room 215 at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS" in Omaha." That'll get you a first class upgrade. Try it. It expecially works well with the old ladies on their way to using BOTOX.
Interesting technique Palms, but I think that approach will only get you a no recline seat next to the lavs and possible a black eye;Actually a friend of mine did get an upgrade on BA once, but they didn't do a thing; (they were dressed nicely) just chalked it up to luck and timing.

Richie,
You may want to search on keyword "upgrade". I think this has been discussed a few times.... think I remember one person that gives candy
You may also get some BA specific information.
One thing for sure... you can always get more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.

you're gonna put honey in the gate agent's ear to get an upgrade??? after you do that finger thing on the handshake??
