You also need to wear the 1K/GS uniform (see picture stolen from internet below)
Preferably dress like you just came out from the 200th sales meeting of the year, with way too much carryon jockeying for position.

But with the new preboarding, you need to be careful - those lined up for hours in Group 1 will shoot daggers at you as you go past them, and once preboarding for 1K is called, 1Ks will swoop in out of nowhere to cut you off.

There is much to learn in the 1K pre boarding ritual.
