You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

[serfty]

Or being on the LAX T4-TBIT transfer bus and cussing under your breath because you overhear folks discussing the merits of AA earn/burn and bonus miles while thinking "Christ does bloody everyone know the tricks now"!!!!....

I would have thought a real frequent flyer would know not to use that bus ...

Well I was in no hurry and couldn't be f#%^ed with TSA again

Well, there is that ...

I'm normally leaving the T4 lounge at the last 'comfortable' moment (~¾ hours before boarding).

... when you go to fill out the paperwork for a spa treatment in the lounge and attendant says "Oh don't worry about that - yours is on file".

- Most of JessicaTam's list - especially the wifi connections
Also the freshly laundered clothes in bags or plastic just sitting in my case till next trip?

I've done that many times too, and my partner laughed when I pulled them out on a surprise visit. She thought I was crazy, until she inspected the paperwork that was still attached.

At least I looked good when I took her to dinner. . . .

Seriously readers, if you take PJs on board with you, consider keeping the (unused) set, and the amenity kit, and when you have a small collection, give them to your local women's shelter (I sometimes get a funny look when I ask for a ladies amenity kit ). Goodness knows, I'm not that virtuous but I got that idea of either here or FT and its a pretty good one.

My wife works for a Special Needs pre-school and she gives all mine out to the children to use as their amenity bags when they attend. The kids (and some parents) are absolutely rapt. With MH going to "Tumi" i wonder how long they are going to last in the selection bin!

You know you have spent too much time when you are walking towards the QP,glance at your BP and think how are they going to know I am entitled to get in.The QC before your FF number means nothing to you.

Anyone else have that problem where the contents of bottles of toiletries/gels/etc. randomly start oozing out of the bottle when you open it? (I suspect only frequent flyers will understand what I mean.)

Or the roll on top flies off the deodorant when you open it?

I'm negotiating a contract with a client and they've suggested private charters..........all I can think about is "what about my status credits"! :shock:

I reckon you have to rack up at least 1M miles before you can even start thinking you're a FF.

Like most addicts, you know the golden handcuffs are bad for you, but you still relent and buy according to the marketing "pushers"

From flights that is, not CCs

 

[leadman]

You know you have been travelling and you do your yearly "mass balance" on home v hotel room nights and realise the 24 night difference was because you spent then sleeping on planes!

One follows the other.....

I guess I'll never be a FF then

I've still got a fair way to go as well....

Does that include class of service bonus?

(All tongue in cheek) ....Purely Miles Flown.

If it included class/status bonuses the start line should be multi millions.
