My suggestion is, when you get on, look around you at the passengers. If you find a family with small kids, smile, complement the parents on the kids (they're cute, well-behaved, etc) so as to make them see you as a person who is nice. Also works if you find an elderly gentleman with whom you can strike up a conversation, say about the trip. The idea is to have people see you as a nice person. Then when going to the lounge, restroom, etc., casually ask them if they would mind keeping an eye on your things while you are gone. Found it works very well and people will tell new arrivals that the seat is taken and your items will be safer. They will remember you because of the conversation.I often tell parents of young girls that I have an 8 y/o grandson and if their daughter has a large dowry, perhaps we can make a deal. That gets a laugh.
