When your osteopath's bill for putting your body back into shape exceeds the air fare paid

When you know which row goes from 3 to 2 down the back of the 744

When you have to sit on the cabin crew jumpseat for 15 hours because your legs are too long to sit in the seat (thank you Monarch for that delight)

When you are not a nervous flyer but still sit next to the black boxes (and not the one I have in my hand baggage...)

When you get so bored, you fix the seats, cabin interior, overhead lights, floor lighting track, tray tables ....

When you know exactly when the pizza is to be served on the AA 90 day flight from ORD and have been waiting for 3 hours for that moment

When you swear because you missed the opportunity to swap AA in Y for EI in J on another thread, even though there was D class still available on your selected dates

When it feels slightly better than flying in a C-130 Hercules or any Antonov freighter to get to where you are going

When you know exactly how to sleep in a row of three seats and think that your Mileage God has looked down on you when it happens

When you look at somebody else in a row of 3 and they have not used the safety briefing card wedged into the gap between the outside seat cushion and the frame and extending upwards to the armrest to stop the pillow falling into the aisle and think "amateur"

When the lady next to you tries to commit suicide with a knife

When the lady opposite you (on Southwest) pulls a gun out of her handbag

When a "flat bed" is something to sleep on in a single storey living accommodation

When "More Champagne Sir" is just a name on FT (sorry Morse)

When seat back entertainment is running a sweepstake to guess when the person in front will crush your knees

When the IQ of the person next to you is less than their seat number
