The flight Manifest
Yesterday I was bored on the flight between ATH and FRA and stood for a long time with Purser and FA in the galley/kitchen and talked and talked and talked...
Of course I asked about the flight manifest and they printed out for me the full one and explained a couple of things.
Interestingly no HON was aboard but a big load of SENs, even more than FTLs. Altogether it was more than 20 SENs&FTLs.
It was printed per section C and Y.
Behind there names were numbers, which generates a "hitlist" referring to their turnover in the past. Asking the FA/Purser whether this referes to the full year or just last week, they couldn't answer.
Then there was the list of "Important Guests" which showed approx. 8 people out of which six had the "SEN+" sign.
Asking for the meaning one told me that she doesn't know and the other one guessed that it means that "SEN+" is on its way to HON, but couldn't confirm it.
However, both were very eager to find out and asked the Pilot to send a telex to FRA for information, but the pilot denied because he had a check-flight and didn't want to bother...
And last but not least there was a "Birthday" person aboard, which was also printed on the manifest.
They told me also that usually kids travelling alone, disabled persons and special meal requests are printed on it.
