I was called by my last name in a long haul flight by LH (GRU - FRA) even not being a status member of M&M (I am only a "normal" member without status, with just the blue card). But I was in C and I also think that the FA was a little confused, or better surprised, since I have a German last name, but am I not German (I am Brazilian with German ancestry). Since I was in C in a flight from Brazil to Germany, I did not thought to be something unusual.
I was also called by my last name in another long haul flight by TAP Portugal (LIS - POA), but that time I was in Y, with a very discounted fare and in a very standard seat and also not being a status passenger (again, only simple Victoria member without status). That was a surprise, mainly because the Portuguese FA spelled my last name correctly, which is not usual even in my everyday life!
Otherwise, I am never called like this in short flights, no matter what airline I am flying.
