So.... I unlocked plat for the first time at some point in March (thanks to covid status freeze and bonus XP!)

On my first Y flight after the new status, which was a BCN-CDG, Whilst still on the ground, the flight attendant came to my seat to greet me by name, ask me how I was, if I needed anything.

I asked for a glass of water if that's alright, and not only she kindly obliged but also extended the offer for a glass of water to my 2 unknown seat mates out of courtesy (which was very kind and made it so i didn't feel awkward). The plane was 100% full.

She came frequently past in mid flight and made sure I had my drink filled up, offered a couple snacks. Then when i tried to squeeze past the cart to go to the rear lav she begged me to use the biz WC instead.

And on exit again a very warm goodbye, asked if flight was alright, greeted me by name as well etc...

I thought to myself: "Wow, what an absolute world of difference between gold and plat. I really could get used to that level of service".


..... have taken maybe 6 Y flights since. Not even a single acknowledgement 🥲
