Hey! I'm in Thailand now and was really interested in seeing what it's like after reading of your experience. Were you stared at a lot? And ignored? It's been the complete opposite for me. I was well up in the North, in one of those pick up truck taxis, me the only foreigner among about 8 Thais and no one seemed to bat an eyelid! I was a little surprised! Where were you ignored? Interesting how people can have completely different experiences.

LOL! I commend you for taking the ridicule at work and writing about it here :-) I think you're getting enough of these funny stories to have your own show...

Much of Europe is overrated and far too expensive anyway.

You have to at least dress smartly. I met a guy in trinidad that flies first class because his mother works for the airline and one of the requirements is that he dress smartly so he always wears trousers, shirt and tie for travelling...

The only time I have got upgraded when not wearing smart clothes is when they have no choice because the flight is fully booked and even then they will choose those who are more smartly dressed to upgrade.

The problem with this is different people will have different experiences.
I've lived in the Middle East and know lots of Arabs and didn't feel they were notoriously racist. In fact I had a great time living there.
It's hard to paint an entire group of people in a certain way.
Plus I have been to Argentina and met lots of Argentines and didn't think they were any more racist than another nationality.

It's all personal experience at the end of the day.

Hungarians are also racist. They are completely similar to Italians. Heck there flag is even the same with the colors going a different direction.

Yeah they tend to have an arrogant air because they see themselves as the Europeans of South America...

Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are also racist since they are mostly Italians and Spanish.

I can't even disagree with that!

Spanish are indeed racist.
Italians are indeed more racist
Arabs are racist than both.

I think it is totally random! When we flew back to South Africa from Australia, we flew via Singapore. We were obviously the first to check in to the Singapore to Johannesburg flight (having checked in at Melbourne) and so when the plane was full, we were bumped up to Business Class. It was awesome!

I arrived not to early, dressed in a shirt and suit, presented my frequent flier card and simply asked and it was granted, however I have noticed any time that I have been upgraded in my life that it is an American airline. If u are a frequent flier your wish is likely to be granted. I got upgraded on one of the flights in the way back as well. Its worth a try!

What were the tips you used to score an upgrade?? Have a couple long-haul flights coming up soon..

This is too crazy. I have witnessed scenes like this and I would never give them my money after that spectacle. I like that brought up/dragged up phrase though!
