E / E+ welcome/recognition on board
TK10 today:

Had a FA approach me at my seat in Y and welcome me by name and E+ and told me if I needed any help with the onboard WiFi, she’d be happy to help.

I thought that was a nice touch.

It was a first for me too, just like the cold cabin!

I've been acknowledged and welcomed in Y while flying on TK as an Elite.

TAP Portugal, on the other hand, put a nice card on my meal tray welcoming me as Star Alliance Gold

8 years as E+ (flying mostly on TK) and not once I got any sign of recognition, in J all the passengers are addressed by name when they hand out the menu

More than a welcome or recognition, I need to be handed a priority lane pass upon landing in BKK while traveling in Y.

PM me, will gladly exchange my greeting from the FA for your opup.

I heard those were desirable ‘golden tickets’. Way more benefit than a potentially awkward greeting.

With all their cutbacks, I’m not sure EY still does it.

I've been E+ essentially since it started and have never experienced or seen it. The only greetings I have ever seen were for former MP's in the first row, or pilot's families, also in the first row.
