You’ll immediately distinguish yourself from the 90 percent of flyers who have dressed for comfort—you know, the ones whose gnarly toes are sticking out of their flip-flops.

]]> 38384 2 29 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/29.jpg Wrangle a seat in First Class If at all possible, sit in First or Business Class; deserved or not, it immediately gives you credibility.

]]> 38385 3 37 Tip A good way to sit in First Class without paying a fortune is to use your frequent-flyer miles for an upgrade.

]]> 38386 4 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/44.jpg Flash a winning smile Flash a winning smile at the target of your desire as you board and offer a sincere “Hello.” Flight attendants are used to being ignored when they welcome passengers, so this will make you stand out as someone with manners.

]]> 38387 5 56 Tip Hold eye contact for a second longer than normal; it’s been proven to unnerve people in a way that sexually excites them.

]]> 38388 6 64 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/64.jpg Decline the champagne Decline the champagne. Accepting a glass of bubbly upon boarding is for giddy novices.

]]> 38389 7 71 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/71.jpg Be chivalrous Look for an opportunity to show your chivalrous side. For example, you could jump up and help her as she struggles to hoist someone’s 200-pound carry-on into an overhead compartment.

]]> 38390 8 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/82.jpg Be unfailingly polite Be unfailingly polite throughout the flight—say “please” and “thank you” and don’t ring the bell unless you’re choking to death. The longer the flight goes on, the more she’ll be comparing you favorably to the regular pains-in-the-asses.

]]> 38391 9 96 Tip Read something that makes you look intelligent and successful, and that invites conversation—like a manual that suggests you are learning to fly your own plane.

]]> 38392 10 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/105.jpg Ignore her Aside from when you are offering a heartfelt “please” and “thank you,” ignore her. You don’t want to be lumped in with all the leering lotharios and their cheesy come-ons.

]]> 38393 11 116 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/116.jpg Take out a business card When the captain instructs the flight crew to take their seats for landing, take out a business card and jot down a note to the effect of, “Dear Sandy, I’d love to take you to [an expensive restaurant] for dinner one night.”

]]> 38394 12 129 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/129.jpg Slip her the card As she offers her “buh-bye,” thank her for a wonderful flight as you smile, make eye contact, and slip her your card.

]]> 38395 13 138 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/10219/138.jpg Save your money Start saving your money; you’ll need it for that pricey dinner when she phones.

]]> 38396 14 143 Fact In a survey of professions that men find sexy, flight attendants came in third, after models and dancers.
