Unfortunately, most of the above that I read are applicable. Not sure if it was mentioned however turning up in a city (for me most likely in the US) and totally forgetting what city you are in when you get in the cab/UBER and have to refer to travel docs

When you are planning or booking your next trip as soon as you get back from the previous one.

Guilty of planning it on the flight home.

When you're sitting in the lounge tracking your incoming plane on Flightradar and see that the plane is brand new, then getting an update from Flighty about your flight and noticing that you've already flown on said plane 3 times

It's all coming out now! I must admit to most of these practices! But perhaps not forgetting where I am though even though I dye my hair grey/white to encourage sympathy---Yeah Right!.

When on a very rare occasion you’re the last to board and you get a personal call on your mobile from the lounge staff instead of hearing it on the PA

• When you get really excited for an upcoming trip/s (more so than anything else that's happening in your life otherwise).
• When you get invited to trivia event(s) solely for your knowledge of airline and airport IATA codes, aircraft models etc, rather than what you bring socially or otherwise to the table
• When you get asked on Live Chat "Are you in the Travel Industry" after using GDS lingo when asking for itineraries/eTickets to be emailed to you

2nd and 3rd points. Definitely!

The last two are good point when you refer to cities by their airport IATA codes, or even using the UN Phoenetic alphabet

Haha yes - whenever friends/family ask "hey where are your next travels taking you" and your respond "heading to MXP/BCN via SIN then heading back via IST" they look at you like you're speaking in tongues
And then to top it off say "sitting in 11 Delta/Foxtrot for the long hauls"

I have to give my name in UN Phoenetic sometimes, and have the alphabet on my wall.
