You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

[93Revisited]

Your in trouble if you can navigate your way around the subway system in multiple Chinese cities more easily than topping up your Myki in Melbourne
Having a prepacked travel wet packs is one indication of too frequent a travel schedule. Duplicating your meds in that pack is an absolute give away.

When you refuse to check baggage no matter how long the trip is.

When you always check your luggage as you don't want to lump golf clubs around each transit point.

Seriously the less I have to carry around the airport (s) the better my morale especially with the number of transits I usually book.

Who else but a frequent flyer carries NOTHING in their pockets??

Unfortunately me, a ventolin! Sometimes when that door gets open on arrival i can feel it straight away. And then there is the sprinting between gates especially in the US.

I mustn't be a frequent flyer. All my pockets are always full.

Oh, I forgot the main one, my pocket watch........

Let me clarify - my jeans are empty, but I carry a travel jacket that has pockets stuffed full It is just so easier at security to throw the jacket through than empty pockets.

Must be time for all the bad jokes!

As long as the motion is seconded and appropriately minuted, I move that we dial down the puns so we don't have to face them with alarm outside the humour thread.

You really clocked me with that one JT.

..... the duty free lady retrieves your pre-ordered grog when she sees you approaching
..... the taxi driver (who you don't recognise) asks as you step into the cab, "Hilton again, Sir"
..... upon check-in, the hotel team reminds you "your dry cleaning is in your wardrobe", even though you haven't stayed for a few weeks!

I'm reasonably convinvinced that this is not normal, yet this was my 18:00 + reality today. The Aelia staff in CNS know my travel arrangements better than me,
H-CNS knew I have a wedding to attend in BNE in the morning and the cab driver with the Southern Cross tattooed in his upper left arm ... who knows!

... When you receive an e-check in email the night before you check in for the previous night with all all 3 nights in different countries!

I woke up this morning, in a strange bed. It was dark still (usual pre-dawn awakening due to time changes). Nothing was familiar. I lay there for ages trying to remember what country I was in, where I was. I am used to travel but this place was bizarre.

Then I realized I was home.

… when the Russian Visa application form asks for your 10 year travel history (each country and date of arrival), and it runs out of space when you've only got back to 2016.

… when you don't think twice about joining the Air Astana 'Nomad Club' because you see that they run flights from Almaty to Atyrau.

Wonder if they'll accept what I do on NZ arrival cards when I run out of space for countries visited in the last 30 days? I write some countries and "+ others".

There’s no option for that sort of comment. It is with relief that one gets to the limit of the long array of boxes, let me assure you. No need to add to one’s burden or risk neurotic Russkis knocking your visa back - if they ever read the stuff they make you put down .

Yep, i do that too, and put small change in a small zip section of my bag, less chance of someone stealing your money, wallet, phone, sunglasses in the bag or in the jacket.
