Here's how you know you're traveling with a bunch of road warriors:
- They carry 12 different chargers with them for their cell phones, laptops, kindles, noise-cancelling headphones and blue-tooth ear piece, and all of the cables necessary to connect to a rental car and hotel's sound system with their iPod.
- If you look in the bathroom, you see their toiletries broken into two bags: one clear plastic bags with bottles of 3oz clear liquids and gels, and another with the rest of their shower kit
- You'll see guys who in any down second are checking their e-mail on their iPhone/Blackberry and pulling out a laptop out of nowhere to go online, or dialing into a conference call from the middle of a golf course.
- Exactly 24 hours before their flight's check-in, everything is dropped to check in for their flight to ensure the best possible first class upgrade potential.
- They travel with $3 cash and know every place possible you can use a corporate card to make sure that all corporate expenses are easily tracked
- They will go through unnatural acts to stay at their hotel chain of choice in order to get their elite statuses and points.
- They know every detail of their frequent flyer/hotel/rental-car/credit-card status programs.
- They can show up in a town without a map or an address of where they're supposed to go, start driving and dialing at the same time to figure out where supposed to be.
- They can get off the airplane in 30 seconds and be in a rental car, driving off the airport lot 5 minutes later.
- They can tell you exactly what kinds of food and booze are served in the airport/airline clubs and when they'll get a meal in first class and when they won't.
