Former airline gate attendant Alex Zois explained that he has the power to help passengers, if he feels they are nice.<\/p>\n
He said just saying please and thank you goes a long way “especially if you’re asking for something from an airport crew member” when you’re arriving for your flight.<\/p>\n
However, while he admitted there are no “real upgrades” any more for travellers, this doesn’t mean you won’t get something for being nice.<\/p>\n
