My bad. I misinterpreted it as "request on the day of departure".
Still, I had no knowledge of this change at all.
I am very certain that at one point, it was supposed to be automatically offered at check-in without asking.
Maybe it was those Diamond days before WOH era.
Clearly remember filling numerous online surveys asking if I was offered welcome amenities and late check-out among other things at check in.
Welcome amenities are already an obsolete Diamond terminology. Ba
