I once jumped the long x-ray queues because I saw a sign that said priority lane, by invitation only so I said to the nice lady "Can I have an invite" and she said yes and sent me through the empty fast lane. For getting on to the plane, I agree, just say sat down till the queue has gone, your seat will still be there and the flight won't leave without you. > > > -Brad > > > > On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 6:15 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Everyone probably already knows this and I'm the last to discover it >> but I found a way to jump the long boarding queue to get on the plane >> quicker. >> >> Just before the check-in desk opened I went up to the check-in staff >> and asked them for an upgrade from economy class.
