Tipping is overlooked in today’s travel industry. It’s defin an old school mentality and can carry a strong response. Just don’t tip the TSA after your massage.

I’ve been told straight out with curbside check in “ you hook me up I’ll hook you up “ more then once. I usually don’t need them so I just go reg check in.

I’ve tried twice with hotels and both times it didn’t work. I feel like they can get scared to give you upgrade if you give them money..

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I've left some nice tips after a hotel stay if the staff goes above and beyond, especially when it involves kosher food accommodations.

I’ve done it with I would say at least a 70% success rate. It’s hard to say every time it was Bc of the top and I would not have gotten upgraded otherwise. But def sometimes it was clearly bc the tip
