Has an airline done something unexpected for your birthday?

On a Cathay Pacific flight last week, the cabin crew brought a birthday card that was signed by all the crew to the lady sitting across the aisle from me in business class. It was totally unexpected and the lady was chuffed.

I've heard of someone else receiving a piece of birthday cake on Qantas.

Have you had any birthday surprises from an airline? And did you tell them it was your birthday, or did they just know?

On QF75 last week in J I woke to find a birthday card from the crew and a Qantas keyring gift even though my birthday was the week before. Adding to that it was a great crew and a big jump up from some of the previous crews I have had.

Last year we flew Qantas, returning from a Japan holiday to Hobart, 2 days before my son turned 16. He scored birthday wishes from a cheery and cheeky flight attendant, plus a little bag of Lindt chocolates. (Enough to share!)
There were two other 'birthday week' passengers who got the same. An unexpected and nice gesture.

My wife got a card signed by all of the crew and a model A350 plane on JAL, we didn't say anything so they must have picked up on it. Was a nice touch.
