Sounds more than just Executive Platinum, any guesses ?
Honestly could have been just EXP... EXP and CK both get free food / drink items in economy.

Maybe he made a big deal about not getting the UPG, or maybe there was a problem with a seat and had to downgrade.

Could have been a number of things, but chances are just EXP.
