In order to get a Road-warrior medal - how far do I need to push the pedal

As you all have figured out by now there is a Full membership category for Road-warriors that we after much research and hard real-life practice has developped. Below we are sharing quite a bit of details about how to get this respectful level and can carry your frequent flyer airline badges as war-medals for all travel done as a road-warrior

You know you have become a full road-warrior citizen when you:
1. have visited more than 100 airports
2. know your two passport numbers by heart
3. know the five most useful back-up routes for your inter-continental flight favorites
4. have done “the loop” in less than a week with just hand luggage
5. are always happy at arrival as you just travel with hand luggage and computer bag
6. only buy suits that are non-wrinkle and look nice after 24 hours in your hand luggage and express that as your primary buying criteria in up market clothing stores.
7. have a flat (lightweight) Ethernet cable in your laptop bag
8. eliminate in-flight noise with noise-cancellation ear-plugs
9. save time with back-to-back overnight/red-eye flights even if conducted in economy class
10. have done four (4) flight legs in a single day
11. know which row, in your most frequently travelled plane types, that is the first row in Economy without possibility to put your legs under the seat in front.
12. always feed yourself with a decent meal on airports before departing in Economy class.
13. get re-booked to the best possible option independent of alliance when delayed and flying Economy.

An last but not least, a fun game you can play with colleagues that you think could be Junior or Senior Road-warriors, Just ask them before a long flight how many airports they have visited. 9 out of 10 start to calculate and are either eager or shy of telling the result ......
