You get to the airport early so you can hang around the USAir desk flaunting your "Keep Delta My Delta" button for a while, before you go clear Checkpoint Chertoff and board your DL flight.

When the same check-in agent at BOS checks you in two days in a row, then says "I looked at your itinerary after you left, and I was shocked that you got a trip to ONT with all those stops for only $200!" Followed by me telling the agent about FT and then her checking it out on her computer (airport was dead at the time, so there was a little extra time).

I had the CRC staff in FLL looking in mid-December. It was right after I asked about getting a button and they said more were coming.... and that someone from this board had asked before me!

When you arrive at the MSP ticket counter and they see you in line (while helping someone else) and wave to you...and when you get to the counter they ask where you have been for 5 weeks (and MSP isnt your home city!!!!).
The DL ground staff at your home airport waves to you when they see you in the window as they are driving the jet bridge in to the plane! Or when they stop in the gate area to hang out and chat with you prior to your flight!

When the FA brings you a drink automatically (without asking) before the door closes, and tells you that she had seen you on her last flight, and she thought I was flying more than she was, as she see me all the time.

When you are the one who is passing out red K.D.M.D. bracelets to the FAs.
When your favorite SLC cust. srvc. rep is comfortable enough with you to break your balls about leaving HNL at 11:45pm on 12/31 (but then upgrades you on an award that night when your flight is delayed).

When you arrive at your home airport for another departure, and the TA ( that you have not seen for several months ) knows you by name, and asks why she has not seen you for such a long time.
Answer... All of my trips out were on her days off.

The agents, both TA and GA, at MSP are awesome! I have gotten on a flight in MSP as the flight was boarding. Get to know them and they really help you out. ^
