My lips were quiet. I only asked the GA if I could change to an exit row and anyone can do that given they meet the exit row requirements. The only time they could have known I was gold was 1, when they checked me in at the counter and looking through the reservations system 2, when they scanned my BP at the gate into the computer while boarding and 3, actually looking at the BP as HA usually prints "Premier", "Gold" and "Platinum" on those respective elites' BP's.
Whatever the reason it was quite nice and made my return flight a lot more enjoyable after a long and intense conference.
