Does how you’re dressed still matter?
I thought I’d ask a question on a much lighter subject given all the doom and gloom.. I’m watching a great BA documentary from the 90s (it’s on YouTube not sure if I’m allowed to post). They go into a lot of detail about overselling tickets and making people ‘suitable for upgrade’. This is 20+ years ago now... but they’re about to upgrade someone then see he’s wearing shorts and so proceed to pick someone else.
I can’t really remember what I was wearing the the last few times I’ve been upgraded but nowadays I generally just wear gap tracksuit bottoms and a pull over as then there’s no belt to remove and it’s comfortable on the flight (much to my girlfriend’s disapproval). I haven’t had any upgrades lately... I’m wondering if the two are linked
