During a long flight, you will hardly regret that you are not properly dressed. However, having a sophisticated outfit has its advantages: you can get a more comfortable seat on the plane.
Airlines reward their customers through loyalty programs. But imagine: what if they improved the passenger experience based on how well they were dressed?
Do you look like a successful businessman who accidentally got into economy class? Please take a seat in first class.
While this may sound inconceivable, it is actually possible.
Airfare Watchdog founder George Hobica was promoted to first grade because he wore a navy suit, while the rest of the passengers arrived at the airport in sandals and sportswear. He did not have any privileges and bonuses from the airline. Not surprisingly, his resource is dedicated to cheap fares and tips for saving on flights. So he is not an adherent of any one company, but buys tickets depending on the price. Therefore, the only explanation for this situation he considered was his presentable suit.
George's guess was confirmed by one of his friends, who worked at a Lufthansa checkpoint. He said that after checking the bonus miles, he could transfer the passenger to another class if he looked good.
Of course, this is not accepted by all airlines. However, it is worth trying your luck. On very rare occasions, missing out on ripped jeans and old sneakers can help.
In addition, you cannot know in advance who will be sitting next to you. What if it will be a potential business partner or a future life partner? In this case, you should take care of your appearance.
