When the CSD tells the CC on the door checking boarding passes, that he/she doesn't need to check my BP.

What surprises me is the number of frequent fliers at LHR T5 in the "fast track" (warning - description may not live up to the reality) security queue who DON'T do this and get to the front of the queue acting surprised that they need to get their liquids/laptop out, belt off, coat off, shoes (maybe) off - maybe they are infrequent fliers but flying in premium cabins......
I liked the bit in "Up in the Air" where George Clooney had this down to a fine art!

But that just means you travel a lot. Its the same when you go into shops you use a lot and they recongise you. I use one so much that some of the staff know me so well I dont need to say anything. She does it for me.

when you stop at the cafe in the service area on the way back home and the guy is already making your regular drink before you have time to order!

[QUOTE=Yahillwe;17223035When the lounge people say "see you next month" as you are leaving the lounge.[/QUOTE]
Or indeed, as in my case, 'See you next week'.
Another example, which just happened:
The CSD noticed my 'BA Afternoon Tea Survival Kit', mentioned it in the 'flight report' and BA CS just phoned me up to talk about the CE afternoon tea service'.

When you know where to stand in the bus to get first at immigration.
When you are ready to show your shiny CCR card at the dragon and she doesn't even bother to ask you...
When you start planning meetings in the lounge.
When the IRIS system recognizes you at the far end of the queue and allows you to pass immigration instantly (ok, that's a step too far in my imagination...)

This is a future we can only hope for. Minority Report type scanners to replace IRIS so you don't even slow down as you walk through.
