The old pro. Sounds about right. Although I imagine the result is influenced by the lack of questions on how much beer I drink in the lounge.

The luxury lounger
You could make a trip to the supermarket glamorous, couldn’t you? A luxury lounger knows that the finer things in life are worth the price tag and that the most valuable asset of all is time – you intend to spend yours well. We’ll probably spot you in the lounge or perusing designer baggage in the terminal shops but, wherever you are, you’re looking impossibly well put together. 10/10 for effortlessness.Ha! it's been some while since I was called "glamorous". In fact, never. And what's a "supermarket"?

This programme has just addressed me as an Old Pro. Instinctively I hit the screen with my hairbrush and now require a new monitor. Can I claim compensation?

Somehow I also got to be described as the luxury lounger which is correct in that I will be in the lounge (drinking a G&T or two) but I see no point in perusing designer baggage in the terminal shops. Buying booze maybe, name brand colognes and perfumes definitely. I would like to think I am looking impossibly put together but since I haven't got a branded item of clothing in my wardrobe I think that's stretching things a bit far. I do try to look presentable though :-)

Never bought a litre bottle of water or paperback as yet, but closest to my travel routines.
"The old proNow this is a vibe The Club can get behind. You’re not showing off – in fact you’re pretty low key about your airport mastery. You have all documents at the ready and are hooked into all the right gadgets. You tend to get the timings on the money, so there’s just enough time to really enjoy the airport experience before you’re off to, presumably, nail the in-flight experience. Practice makes perfect, hey?"

Troop Marshall. Family travel in the Covid era necessitates somebody having their proverbial $#!t together. Oh the paperwork! Oh the Covid testing appointments! If it wasn't for me, Christmas in Barcelona would have been a train wreck.
