This doesn't deserve a new thread or anything, so I'll just put it here.
I quite enjoy when I settle in for a flight and recognize an AS FA from a flight on a different route quite some time back. This happened yesterday. I immediately recognized a FA on a SEA/OAK flight from an ANC/SEA flight I was on in early March. (Some people are just uniquely memorable.)
Of course it'd be weird to say, "Hey, [FA], remember me from 1,000 flights ago?", so I don't do that, but once a FA remembered me from a flight on a different route a few weeks prior. Even remembered the route. That was pretty cool too.

I'm trying to remember the comedian (Steven Wright or George Carlin?) that had the line about - "Do you ever run into the same stranger twice in a day? It's as if god is running out of extras in the movie of your life."

A few months ago I flew PDX>OGG to bring my daughter over to my wife but had to fly back the next day and I ended up with the same crew since apparently that's how their schedule works most times - land in Hawaii and then fly out the next afternoon. I ended up chatting with one of the FAs a bit about it and remembered her. My next trip over a few weeks later I ended with that same FA which we both thought was statistically pretty crazy. She said that was the first time she's been back on that route since I had seen her. Even a bit more amazing was the first time I was up in FC with my daughter but the second time I was literally in the back row of the plane since I was with my twins and just bought saver fares. I joked with the FA that I'm probably the only person in history to go from the very front seat of the plane to the very back.

P.S. I had to look it up, but according to one source, it was Louis C.K. who said that or something like it. Not to say he didn't filch it from someone else, of course.

Ha..... I'm thinking you must be a parent. Yeah, it was definitely an early lesson in how airline upgrades work. Main traveler +1 is all you get... sorry boys. Although, they were actually doing better than big sister since they got to stay in our old hometown of Oregon a week longer. Wife and kids came to Maui at the start of Covid but only big sister got into Maui school (so she had to get back a week earlier during break while they boys were remote and could "attend" from anywhere).
