Mine is: try to avoid checking bags if possible. It makes air travel so much quicker & smoother.

Always ask if they can give you a free upgrade. I've been given one a couple of times because I've always asked politely, and explained that I cramp easily in narrow seats. Sometimes I'll get a "I'll see what I can do" and if the plane is not completely booked, I might be given a seat with extra leg space, economy plus, or even business class.

I used to fly between Japan and America constantly, and I've been given a business upgrade twice simply by asking. I seem to have the most success with Delta and ANA.

It's amazing how far being a decent & polite human will get you.

Secret for life is being nice. It works great for work as well
