Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Clive has a rather nice Bombardier Global Express with a range of about 5,000nm. Pretty sure he doesn't fly commercial

He has been known to from time to time. I recall an incident a few months ago where he abused security who asked him to go through the full body scanners and was eventually kicked out of the airport i believe.
Clive Palmer banned from Brisbane flight after refusing full-body scan | News.com.au

Jesinta Campbell in the SYD Domestic Virgin lounge right now. She is rather beautiful but I only worked out it was her from her luggage tags on her bags going through the xray machine in front of me.
Google her if you don't believe the spelling...

Didn't know who she was until I Googled her. Must have been hard for you Warks

Are you certain you meant to put it exactly like that?

Fnar fnar! As they say in the classics!

I just checked that link and by her amazing insightful Twitter feed it seems that Ben Fordham was on the same flight (but not the same flight as me). He's some 2GB dude apparently.

Thanks 4 keeping me entertained the entire flight champ @BenFordham . Made the most of being locked out of business

just re-read my comment and hasn't seen that version of what I wrote

Maybe I should have said "it must have been rough".

My mum and dad were on a Qantas J flight with Krudd forced to sit behind them in economy. According to them he sulked while boarding, demanded the J food and drinks, and made J wait for him to disembark before they could. She is typically the sort of person who finds herself sitting next to major Hollywood in J and F seats and not knowing who they are till someone asks for a signature, or ending up in hotel rooms next to Elton John or Andre Reiu and inviting herself in for drinks. I however have never seen anyone at an airport even remotely celebrity unless you count afl players in the lounge.

there's a phrase I haven't seen since my student days reading Viz magazine. I used to love the parodistic "readers tips" like "to save money, don't but an expensive address book, simply get an old telephone book and cross out the people you don't know"

Wonder if he ended up there due to preferences

Looks like his preference was to not be in Australia today when TA was sworn in as PM so has gone O/S.

Lets hope the FA doesn't forget his meal specifications!

Found myself standing next to Angelina Jolie today, heading through security 3 minutes before her scheduled departure on QF127 (with a small army of children following her). No F lounge time for the more popular 'AJ'!

Paul Roos on QF400 this morning. Won't see him flying QF much next year.

Probably be too busy counting his money

First post. Be gentle.

Flying back from the socceroos WCQ against Jordan in Melbourne I upgraded myself using my points to business (first time flying business. It was awesome). I was in the business lounge when I spotted SBS commentator Les Murray. I froze as this was a bloke I had watched on SBS since I was a kid. But that did prepare myself for what happened in 30 minutes time as the entire socceroos squad walked in including the likes of Tim Cahill, Lucas Neill and Mark Schwarzer. Got to meet all the players and wish them luck. A week later I was in the Olympic Stadium cheering them on as we qualified for the World Cup.
