When you .........
a) Have so much shrink wrap in front of you from the PJ's, Amenity Kits, Blankets, Duvets that there is no space to put your feet.
b) When your on SQ/CX they ask if your wife would like an amenity kit even though she isn't travelling with you!
c) When your a F Class on BA and gain access to "The Concorde" room, which is really no different from any other lounge.
d) Ask for that screaming child to be moved, only to find out that it's the captains son, and they are put into J (opps! won't do that again!)
e) When you have a cabin to yourself and dine with the stewards (SQ F class during SARS)
F) When you are in BA First (last decade!) and they say "is there anything else i can do for you" to which you respond... please hang my clothes, make my bed, make me a hot chocolate, read me a bed time story and give me a goodnight kiss please.".... AND THEY DO!! (maybe because I said please and thank you!)

when the entree is hot, the salad is chilled, and the cutlery can't snap (Asian carriers)
when the flight attendants slam your food down onto your table with less force (US Carriers)
when your FA keeps calling you and your 12-year-old nephew "Sir". (Asiana)
When the people know what a Shirley Temple is (Some VS flights)
When you realize that you're in the wrong seat and that row 64 is very far from 4.
When you find Bvlgari products in your amenity kits.
When your realize that you don't know the difference between facial cleansing lotion, moisturizing lotion, and moisturizing milk.

Or the only other person your age has to follow a dress code because they're flying for free...and they're pissed you can wear shorts and sandals.

I dunno why some people make such a fuss about what one wears in F (or on an airplane in general).

When
1) You order the steak and are asked "And how would you like it cooked sir?"
2) When the Purser introduces herself with "Mr. Meerkat, I don't know whether you are aware of this, but you are the only passenger with us in First today. We are going to spoil you rotten!"
Both on BA.

When an FA hands you the recorked, 3/4 full bottle of that vintage port or XO cognac that you have been enjoying on the flight to take with you
When the Captain invites you to spend a few hours enjoying the view from the cockpit jumpseat (happened to a European friend on a European carrier--will never, ever happen again in this post-9/11 world).
