Southwest Airlines and Kilts?

A trick I read about in a book is, when you show people your ID, show them your passport, but with a little foam clown nose glued to the picture. Whilst they are checking the ID, put a clown nose on yourself to match the picture. The source I heard this from has apparently received free upgrades and other perks from this. Apparently, airport workers appreciate a good laugh every once in a while.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried it myself (yet).

You have to be careful with things like this though. Some people have NO sense of humor. It could get you some "special attention" that you don't really want.

But, like has been said, be nice to the crew and they are much more likely to be nice to you. In my time here on this earth, I have seen those who demand things get exactly what they demand, but nothing more. Meanwhile, those who are being nice and respectful get that and a lot more.

As I said, I've never tried it myself, just heard of it done from other sources.
