Yes, that´s right. It was send by the Austrian FlightScout team:

Here is mine (only in German):

Heute ist ein besonderer Tag....

...deshalb gratulieren wir Ihnen herzlich zum Geburtstag mit einem Zitat der englischen Schauspielerin Joan Collins:

"Alter ist irrelevant, es sei denn, du bist eine Flasche Wein."

In diesem Sinne, verbringen Sie angenehme Stunden!
Ihr Austrian FlightScout Team

Received very nice leather passport holder for my birthday - in addition to a plant last month for Passover, and a party in December. Plus 2 eVouchers for the birthday.

Much appreciated!

That "plant" thing is a bit weird.

A HON, travelling every day, usually won't have time to maintain, water and pet a plant...

Then again, it might be a "travel plant" which requires its own F seat. Like Yo-yo Ma's infamous Cello.

That would be the first plant to become HON.

I got a a card, too, arrived two weeks after my birthday in the UK mailed from Germany and written in German. Interesting enough, the transparent inlay with the gold leaf has a small "GB" in the left right corner. Wonder, whether this has a meaning or not.

It's a low maintenance plant! Anyway, it is traditional to give plants around Passover time, so this was a very nice gesture, and wife was most impressed.

I got a card - and I'm thrilled to bits. Lufthansa has my loyalty for life: all those mean, small-minded complaints about delays, old-C, fuel surcharges etc are forgotten.

Your birthday card may already part of that new strategy.
You're right. LH has announced the "year of the Senator" to treat those important customers better than before. As I've been told, LH has got a lot of SEN-complaints regarding the second-class-treatment behind HONs.
Afaik FAs have been briefed to look after the SENs on board. I don't know, if something has happend in this way.

I hope the FAs don't interpret this order as "search and destroy".

Another LH enhancement. We all know what that means.
