Airline promises free upgrades to 'nice' customersMonarch has promised to give free seat upgrades to "nice" people. The low-cost airline says extra legroom and priority check-in worth more than £50 will be the reward for passengers who are friendly when they book flights over the phone.Each of the British carrier’s customer service staff will have 10 upgrades a week to hand out to those who remember their manners, with the perks valid for each traveller booked in the transaction. Monarch said it was at the “absolute discretion” of the member of staff, and that customers would likely be told of their success “towards the end” of a call.

Flown in to one of the Crete airports, can't remember much about it. Only used Luton Airport once... that was enough.
