FA asked if I was non-rev?
Here's a probably petty question: today flying in BE from FRA-JFK one of the FAs asked me midflight if I was non-rev (I'm not). What sort of behavior might have made her thought that and what, if anything, might have she been implying?
I didn't do anything out of the ordinary except for stay up and watch movies while most everyone else seemed to go to sleep. Had 2 or 3 beers.
Probably nothing, but my curiosity getting the better of me. I know non-rev is often a dirty word around here so I'm hoping I wasn't doing anything rude that made her think so.

Maybe if the OP had drunk a dozen beers! 
OP: were you dressed up compared to most other passengers? That can brand you as NRSA every time.
Oh, and was it two or three? Shouldn't be difficult to remember how many considering the small number involved. If you can't remember, perhaps it was more like a dozen?

Wouldn't a quick glance at the manifest give the flight attendant the answer to her question? Unless the manifest had already been given to a passenger...
