You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

[Flashback]

..... when you get to the airport and go "meh, another flight - really can't be bothered!" (and you're travelling in J or F..)

... you are shopping for a new computer and compare prices in terms of % of a J trip to Europe.

Know the concept of “shoe money”?

When you get a long haul cancellation email whilst at the airport and instead of panicking you pull out the laptop and start checking EF loads and availability with eagerness for better alternative carriers and routes.

When you get a Tripit message to check in for a trip you had forgotten to diarise.

And you don't panic because you can pack in <30 mins and are ready to go...

Oh I love this! It's the new metric for costs going forward, like olympic swimming pools or Sydney Harbours seem to be for volumes of water!

You notice the check-in agent has had a haircut.

You have a favourite bathroom basin, in a lounge or airport hundreds or thousands of km away from home.

The FA stumbles on the description of meals, you're tempted to (or do) fill it in for them.

You have so many napkins from lounges and onboard in your bag you've stopped buying tissues.

Some flight numbers (VA868, QF448) have become a way of life.

It gets better. I’m so used to travelling HLO, and in my haste to pack for Bali at the last minute, threw all my snorkelling gear in and checked the bag through.

Woke up this morning feeling something was missing. I’ve left the bag on the carousel in DPS. Thank goodness for AirTags.


Oh! ….and Nestor waves aside my attempt to show him my boarding pass.

… and you don’t bother calculating when to purchase it before your next international flight in order to claim the TRS, because you are invariably within the time limit.
