I'd say 4 out of 5 times I got the first class whenever the seats were available. I always try to introduce myself to the pilots and to all the flight attendants; even the ones in the back of the airplane (I make sure not to block the flow of traffic). After all, once you get the permission from the captain, it’s up to the flight attendants where you'll be seating.

- Wear the uni to get through security, then go into the bathroom and pull a superman and throw on the polo/golf shirt.
- That's what I do.
Didn't someone have a TSA guy follow him to the bathroom not too long ago?
(I can’t wait for yall’s responses to that one ) But seriously, something about the guy violating the "liquid ban" by removing his uniform on the “secure side” of the airport? Was it on a different board? I swear I read about it not too long ago just can't remember where, anyone?

I will introduce myself to the Captn. and if they offer a seat in the rear I will then go to the lead flight attendant and ask her / him where he /she wants me. If there is a first class seat available I usually will get it. As for food I usually sleep most of the flight so it is not an issue.
P.S. as long as I am not trying to make a connection I wait to be the last off the plane so I can thank not only the pilots but also the flight attendants. Being nice goes a long, long way...... good luck.
