Well, the sales agent that served me told me that she's requested a cake for me on her system... will update the board next week on whether or not that happened... it's not a headache at all - it's just like requesting a special meal.
Anyway, I'm not all that excited by the prospect of getting cake... I just think of it as a friendly gesture... But if I stood a chance of a free upgrade to business class, I would be quite excited. Anyone out there to raise my hopes?
