Done by the book
NRT-FRA at the weekend:
The purser greeted me by name and wished me a happy new year. She then went over to greet a couple of other pax in my part of the C cabin.
Before the first meal service an FA came to ask my meal choice. I was sitting at the back of the middle C cabin, so they could have run out of my choice by the time they reached me. For the second meal service no one came to ask me for my preference but the FA anticipated what I wanted based on my earlier choice. I could have selected an alternative if I wanted.
As a newbie SEN I might have been overwhelmed by this treatment if I hadn’t read this thread beforehand

Well, just enjoy the benefits, but don't count on them
Actually the SEN benefits are in economy better than in C, as the extra service is greater compared to the economy-service! I have enjoyed this on four eco-interconti flights this year: 'champagne' (is it real champagne? usually i don't drink that, but was accompanied), business amenity kits, business class breakfast, 75% special greeting by the purser, ...and this, of course, sitting in exit row with a trolley under me feet to create TFBERB (TheFlyingBau31888ExitRowBed)

Sorry for the rant, just needed to get that of my chest.

. I also had a trolley – having realised that I’m not tall enough to use the crew seat in front as a footrest. Much of my effort was wasted since I was op-upped once again - 4 out of 4 since I turned SEN
. I know that won’t last…

That's luck, now I'm envious... I'm still waiting for my first relevant (=interconti) upgrade on LH. Maybe tomorrow from C->F... hmm, not very realistic with 9 in all revenue bookingclasses and 4 in all award classes.
