I have often noticed when boarding an F flight with the suites, that not everyone has the little snack baskets under the TV's. A sure fire way of telling who has ben bumped. I head a guy the other day in 1B ask where his was, the FA informed him that they put them out in accordance to who they have listed in first at the tim they get on themselves. Tjhey receive the manifest once the flight is closed, which is usually after they have prepared the cabin.

He then asked if he could have an amenity kit and did they have PJ's. The FA replied with (and i loved her responce) "Öh this is your first time, dont worry, we will give out what we have after take off"

So if you get bumped into the suites, my advice, if you want to keep cool, kep quiet!
