dress very smartly.
Pretend you are a 'couple' who have just got hitched (civil partnership}

I was just going to suggest fmv's option of lesbian couple!

yes dress in a suit looking like you are going out for business

Bugger. Went for the casual look - jeans and hoodie. Thatb won't work then!!!

Bit scared of the lesbian thing - just seems a bit wrong as I am with my sister iykwim ;-)

ah no, it means you'll feel very comfortable holding hands and kissing her on the cheek

That is sooooo very true fmv, will ponder that thought on the way to Heathrow!

You could wear huge dark glasses in the airport and pretend you are famous...?

Dress smartly as others have said. A friend's husband always says at checkin "Just to let you know I don't mind if you need to upgrade me" with a straight face, not in a jokey way - he says it works. He is always getting upgraded!!!! Worth a try

Ok, sunglasses - check.

I think I will ask Kerrymum - nothing to lose eh?

Thanks everyone - offski now to pick my sister up!
