If you are referring to the "welcome back Mr. XYZ", they get that from the e-ticket coupon number on the bottom of the boarding pass stub. Look at the last digit of the e-ticket, it will be between 1-4 denoting the coupon number of the ticket. If it is any number other than 1 then it stands to reason you have flown before and hence "welcome back".
I'd guess it's more to do with every change made on that flight. So all seq nos. wouldn't be assigned if, say, you first chose a seat/ flight then changed to another day.

I don't think the Skywards number is printed on the short stub of the boarding pass. I don't have a tag on my bag as well. Oh well, the mystery remains...

How can A330 OLCI sequence be 362 ??
Hi Folks,
I did OLCI for a flight.. It was on A330-200 and the olci sequence showed 362 .. I thought the flight must be terribly full and so either very good op - up chances or they will do a equipment change ..
But when I went in the flight, it was lot of seats empty ( atleast 30-40 in Y) in the same aircraft A330-200 ??
Has anyone else experienced something like this ?

No-one seems to know what the sequence number on a BP really means. A thread on it recently here:

AFAIK, the last no 1-4 denotes the coupon no from the e-ticket .. i checked my last 2 bps .. xxx - dxb was coupon no 1 and dxb - xxx coupon 2 in the e/tckt and the same reflected in the BP as the last digits respectively..
They say welcome back if they see the skywards no in the BP IMO..
