This Is How To Get An Upgrade On Planes, By Flight Attendants View photos Many of us try to look our smartest, and be our most charming selves at the check-in desk - hoping to snag that upgrade into First. But we’re going about it all wrong, flight attendants say. Traveller Catriona Harvey-Jenner asked British Airways flight attendants what the secret was, in a piece for Cosmopolitan .

Tutu (now Tutu-Van Furth) is the daughter of South Africa's first black archbishop and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and is really only the "same" as her wife in one way — they are both women. But in almost every other imaginable way, they are different. Tutu is black, South African, a devout priest and, as she puts it, "vertically challenged." Marceline Tutu-Van Furth is lanky, Dutch, atheist and a professor of pediatric diseases in Amsterdam. South Africa's Anglican church, where Tutu-Van ...
