I think you have to ask yourself, If I ws the person running late.....
Whatever happened to the Golden Rule.
If in letting someone , who was running late, go ahead of me, I didnt miss my flight, but it enabled them to make their flight. Of course I'd do it.
And if the airline asked, and they have once in awhile, i wouldn't ask well whats in it for me, a smile and thank you and the satisfaction of knowing I showed some kindness to a stranger would be more than enough.
