You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

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'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 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
