I also feel it's more likely if I'm jumpseating and she is on a zed we could get an extra legroom seat out of the deal since they tend to be kinder to jumpseaters than passriders. I'm also planning on strbucks cards and chocolate for the gate agents and flight attendants. Unless you guys have better suggestions?
The last time I ZED'd myself down to South America I brought enough Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups to cover the entire crew; pilots and all flight attendants. While it didn't get me an upgrade (it prolly would have, but all sold out) it DID net me some complimentary grape-like juice...
Results vary, but chocolate typically goes a long way, and cheaper than gift cards.
