When the Novotel meet+greet guy in CAI is picking up another guy at immigration as well. After figuring out that you are both doing a b2b the first question you get asked is "are you going to Hawaii".

Brilliant, thank you. I had been aware of these (not the -4 button though) but we've not used them. I feel they would be much more pleasant than the shuttle scrum (The only underground train you'd ever see me on, claustrophobic) but I'm always too groggy (mildly hungover) post flight to remember.

When you wait for 20 minutes at the carousel for your check-in luggage, complain to yourself about the inconsistency of priority bags delivery and realise you have travelled HBO on that trip.

If you're first in the lift press -4 and then others will assume you've pressed the correct button. Doors open, everyones confused but they follow you and then notice the signs to arrivals.

I was better on the 737, especially on final, thanks to MS FlightSim

When you usually travel HBO but go away for the weekend with a checked suitcase, then leave it on the carousel, go through passport control, get on the train, travel to your hotel, check in, go to your room, have a shower then say "where on earth's that shirt ? OH SHOOT !!!" then go all the way back to the airport, find a friendly police officer, tell them your story, wait for them to check with someone, have to go back through Security, be escorted to the baggage hall, be interviewed by Customs and have your forgotten luggage thoroughly searched, finally be allowed to re-enter the country and make you way back to the hotel...

To add another ; explaining the intricacies of the BA theoretical seating algorithm to a bemused flight attendant

This is very appropriate just now...
Being recognised, by name, by a QR crew member from 2 years ago who remembers me from 3 flights, at my current hotel in a destination completely different to any I’ve flown with QR to.

Flabbergasted.
