When you are recognized by the gate agent and get moved to the front of the line.

...when you find yourself wishing that the in-flight magazines were published weekly and not monthly.

Here it is, the 8th of the month and I'm already completely sick of the May issue.

When you start buying stuff out of the Skymall magazine

I've had that thought, too. Monthly publication means that it's only good for one flight (not even one-way if you've got a connection). However, it's not like there's really ever anything interesting or useful in there.

Certainly not worth the effort.

- You ask what type of plane you'll be on, then request your favorite seat by letter and row number

Wait a second -- I thought that was normal.

You go to ITYT every day and submit a new post.

The Front Desk staff at the hotel greets you by name as you walk in the door and has already blocked your favorite room in the computer.

Or

After arriving at the Front Desk you know the staff and ask about their family and friends.

You can recite Gordon's welcome message by heart. (When's he gonna change that and the safety video.)

Nugget · 05-28-2003, 11:35 AM

Maybe not exactly, but you at least have to be able to mimic the two akward pauses/stutters he makes during the beginning of his preamble...

I think the far more telling is knowing all the flight attendents by name from the safety video. (and that poor guy whose job is to blow into the life vest on each side).

I have also noticed those 2 weird pauses/shrugs he makes. I believe its right where he says, "Today your on a (shrug) modern jet airplane, one of the hundreds of airplanes that make up the most (shrug) modern fleet in America."

Sad I can quote it huh?
