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

Do ex-PMs get security? Rudd doesn't seem to have any and neither does John Howard.

I don't think so.

I have met John Howard on a flight and there was no security or staffers.

As for Kevin Rudd, according to this article, he is all alone -

Kevin Rudd out in the cold in New York

A forlorn-looking Mr Rudd, who only a month ago enjoyed the privileges of an enormous entourage, was spotted strolling alone in Manhattan – no security personnel, no chief of staff and no friends.

Yes I've met John Howard on a flight too and he was definitely travelling solo.
