Another thing I can&#39;t emphasize enough.

Be EXTRA polite to staff, especially if you&#39;re a guest on another airline. You are effectively representing your fellow &#39;visiting team&#39; and fellow Non Revs, and gate agents have a looooooooong memory!

Some gate agents *HATE* non revs. I&#39;ve seen &#39;the look&#39; from gate agents of my own airline go sour when they find out my status, and one was a real dragon! But after a few trips where I just smiled, shut up and minded my manners each time, she eventually really warmed up - I&#39;ve even got comp upgrades to first on some flights now. [/b]
Thanks - I hope that I&#39;m quite a polite person anyway! So I will make sure that I&#39;m on my super-best behaviour
