Telegraph:

Single men 'most likely' to get a flight upgrade

31 per cent of crew said they are more likely to grant an upgrade to a well-groomed, attractive passenger
 
 

A poll of airline staff has suggested that single men in their thirties have the best chance of getting a free upgrade on a flight.

According to the profile created by compiling the preferences of more than 700 flight attendants, the lucky man is also likely to be smartly dressed – a handy hint for any hoping to blag themselves a roomier seat.


While the poll showed men were preferred (58 per cent compared to 42 per cent for women), and that 30-40 was the age group most likely to be considered, travelling alone was proven to be most important if you want to be offered a premium seat.


Having good manners and being a frequent flyer also helps, according to the survey which was carried out by the flight comparison website Skyscanner.
