... you don't even need to press the call button once in flight to get great service, they just seem to know you're about to ask for something
Yes this is sooo right...

Sorry, that was me in 2A. I try not to be irresistible, I swear.

Flying F

you know that you are flying F when....

You wake up next to Angelina Jolie

You meet Elle McPhereson and she has to get dressed afterwards, so you help her put her clothes on

You can get a reasonable view forwards from 1A

You wonder if the people on the airbridge can see you going "balls out" when you put your PJs on and notice that you have not closed the window blind

You get moved from your pre-assigned seat for Nelson Mandela

You chat to the wife of Mr Alaskan Airlines and find out he loves Wallice and Gromit

You know that you will get some sleep

You want to strange the 8 year old kid and then find out that its parent is sitting opposite you and wrote the script for "Airplane"

You do not have a seat next to you

You get to the scene of the accident before the pilots (sorry, a little work inspired that one)

Despite having flown "fast jets" in the Royal Air Force, you travel faster, further and higher in a 100 seat jet than you ever did when HM QE2 was paying for it

You wonder if the loud bang is the towbar snapping or the champagne cork flying off.

You don't get a survey form to fill in every time you fly

You think you have got an armoured cockpit door in front of you and it turns out to be a cupboard

There is no point saying "that the nearest exit may be behind you" because the only exits are behind you.

As you board your plane, you notice it's NOT a flying cheese dog! <Old SW colors>

For breakfast, you get "Full English," and your wife doesn't mind! <BA PHX-LHR>

You're ignored by the flight attendants while they fawn over the male passengers.

When there are enough seats left after all passengers have been accommodated and your buddy pass keeps you out of coach.

...when you hear 100+ times "welcome on board. Go through this aisle to the back... TO THE BACK, PLEASE"

...when everybody going to the back is looking to your face and makes stupid comments like "look this stupid snobs... baaaah!"

...when you wake up in the middle of the flight and look forward for the remaining 6-8 hours...

...when most of your seat-neighbours wear uniforms or work-clothes with airline-signs...

You know you are in First Class when

- the flight attendant can call you properly by your last name (Asian Carriers)
- When you are boarding they do a double take that you are not in Y class (US Carriers)

Talking You know when you are in first class when...

You have to call a taxi to go talk to the person in the row behind you
