After realizing her mistake, she apologized after stating that
every single passenger in the second cabin was a non-rev besides yourself, so I just assumed. Of course I got whatever food was leftover at this point.
well, true that the 2nd half of the BE can fill up with non-revs but I've never had a problem with it turning into a party atmopshere. In fact Ive experienced just the opposite with a generally quiet and laid back older crowd.
Also, never had a problem with meal/beverage service and being mistaken as a non-rev. I'm clearly listed on the manifest as a diamond elte/skyteam plus member, so the FA's should know who is a non rev and who isnt.
