You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

[Cruiser Elite]

.......you have a stack of Express Cards about 2 inches high which you have never needed to use.

Of course there is always a funny side to this type of thing - like when you come on AFF to offer them out as a freebie you get responses like - 'Careful such action could bring down an airline' - OMG - the humour on this site.

If some of them are still freebies... I'd gladly not bring down an airline with them and put them to go use.

The other day I went to a cinema with my family - first time in a million years. It was a fairly flash one in Medellín, sort of like what is Gold-class (?) in Australia. Big seats with drinks service.

But I just wasn´t comfortable. Then it dawned on me! I was watching a movie without a seatbelt on!!

..... your mind goes on autopilot when packing carry-on because you've done it a zillion times, LAGs all qualify etc etc etc. You are still on autopilot in the security line, getting the LAGs and laptop out, all organized for the trays. C'mon silly person in front, you KNOW you can't take that bottle of water through - sheesh!!

... abruptly come out of autopilot when security detects the three 200ml containers of high quality Maple Syrup you put in carry-on to protect it, without even thinking about the LAGs rules because you know them off by heart

Maple syrup seems to be a high security concern anyway..I had my checked bag inspected by TSA at LAX and the only thing that was opened inside the suitcase was a cardboard box containing four 540mL cans of the delicious substance

That reminds me, what's the name of the doorman at the SYD Flounge? He is always on for a chat but I can never remember his name.

I had 50 odd in total but gave them all away - have started to re-build stock - will offer them out again early in 2015.

Nor did you have your noise cancelling headphones on.

I know which train carriage to get on at Circular quay that drops me off in front of the escalator at T2/3 every time now. I think I can walk through BNE and SYD domestics while watching a movie on my iPad and not look where I'm going and still end up at the lounge or gate with out fault every time like a homing pigeon.

I have my trains to the airport (with connections) worked out to the minute and doorway too. Of course CityRail doesn't always allow for me.


Love how this thread comes up every now and again but the points are always different.

I remember when I was based in SYD 15 years ago I did a lot of travel when trainer for a GDS. I remember on one occasion I was on a plane & mid-flight I literally didn't know where I was going "Brisbane, no Melbourne, no Brisbane". I had to get out my boarding pass to double check.

Another thing I find annoying is overhearing the conversations of armchair experts particularly if one person asks another what type of a/c a plane is. Eg if they're looking at an A340, it's mis-identified as an A380. It takes every ounce of restraint to not correct them.

 

[dmitri]

Also when you are joking around with your wife/husband making a statement about trading them in for a later model, then they say do it and you can then quote what plane/flight # you could get a ticket on that day going by the time and to what city.

When you can correct the FF call centre on their information.

When the first friends you say hello to are seated in 1A 1C etc..

You're asleep but still know every bump, noise and turn on the way home and wake up within 300 metres of your house (Taxi of course not when i'm driving)

Even your partner can only get a response from you by saying "Excuse me Mr Festi, your flight is ready"
