1) On long haul flights the Hosties know you by name, and you know them. My two are United, and Lufthansa. Love those Lufty girls. Similarly the lady who runs the Red Carpet Lounge at Sydney knows you by name, and waves you through without looking at your boarding pass or membership.
2) The barman at the First Class Lounge at FRA knows (Jens, who used to work in Melbourne) that I drink a G&T (or three) before I fly Longhaul.
3) You recognize the TSA staff when you arrive at LAX, Newark or JFK.
4) You’ve seen all the movies (or rejected the cough ones) on all flights you take.
5) You’ve tired of collecting free in-flight merch, although I still take First Class amenities kits.
6) You can’t be bothered chasing the 45,000 air miles missing from your account.
7) Hilton delivers a bottle of Champagne on your birthday (sadly alone on ones's birthday AGAIN)
8) Your sleep patterns are completely destroyed, and you don’t really bother to try and catch up with sleep knowing it’ll all be screwed up again when you leave again in two weeks.
9) You wake up with no idea where you are, even when you’re at home.
10) You spend more time on an aircraft than in your own bed.
