There are several options for "fitting in" in the premium cabin since there are several kinds of passengers you will most often see in these cabins - choose one that matches your mood and you'll be fine. Some that I have noticed:
* The road warrior look: late in boarding, plonks stuff down in a weary/knowing way and shows no interest in anyone except possibly their own work. A slight variation is the road warrior who tries to board first to snag the best carry on space for their stuff (not so relevant on long haul)
* The "junket" business traveller (or travel agent): The world's an oyster. Take whatever you can. Live it up. Possibly wear a suit to try and look important (hint: nobody cares).
* The once a year passenger/op upgrader: "Oh wow! look at these big seats! Oh look, special recline controls.. oh wow.. you mean the drinks are free up here?! OH WOW!" (imagine a teenager in an adult body...)
* The battler using hard earned miles/UC's from many hours of WHY travel fortunate enough to get that coveted U seat: Unassuming but secretly grinning from ear to ear on the inside. So happy to be there not wishing to make a scene by asking for ANYTHING. Lapping it up, but quietly. Sometimes a smug expression, specially during boarding when the WHY hoardes are passing through (valid only in Zone B or single deck aircraft).
* The "Prince(ss)": Daddy paid. I'm a snob. Go away you cretin. Wear sunglasses on the night flight and attempt to look glamourus (hint: you just look stupid)
* The downgrader (rare): angry expression, surly with a look that could melt one of those plastic knives. Envious look up the front where they should be sitting. Also possibly seen by airline staff who (shock horror) lost a seat in F to a revenue passenger.
* FT'er: fluro FT bag tag, plus at least one "elite" bag tag of a fancy colour hanging off their bag. Depending on fare paid they will either look bored or happy. Orders champ for pre-departure drink. Is usually interested in where everyone else is going. Wants to keep the menu card. Most likely with laptop reading cached FT threads composing witty responses to send once online....
* Deadheading crew: In uniform
* NRSA passengers: Most unassuming of the bunch *OR* the ones all the F/A's are paying attention to and gossiping with for the entire flight. Best to be avoided.
Hope that helps
