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

Whilst it wasn't in a lounge or on his plane, We did get a wave as he drove by today.

Totally random and made the kids day. (Ok and me too!)

How did you know it was him? Vice gets around like this as well but there is one distinguishing vehicle

Sitting next to Damian Fleming in the Island Dining area of MEL J Lounge now. Can't wait for him to get off the phone so I can ask some questions

Never heard of him

With QF WP it was always a good chance he'd be a cricketer. And so he was.

The Western Sydney Wanderers football team onboard QF 163 yesterday from SYD to WLG, to play the Wellington Phoenix.

Arrived back in BNE the day the 2nd cricket test finished a couple of weeks ago and was walking up the travellator to the Airtrain when I sort of recognised someone and thought to myself "that looks a lot like Mark Nicholas the cricket commentator". And it was Mark Nicholas with Shane Warne next to him and another 2 people with them I could not recognise.

Mark Nicholas was impeccably dressed in a suit and Shane Warne in t-shirt, shorts and thongs. :-|

My son had a quick play with Kate Winslet and her son on the EK407 tonight. She of course was on the upper deck!

My partner informed me that we sat across from "The Bachelor" and his partner on Tuesday on a VA ATR from CBR-SYD. We were 17D/F and they were 17A/C. I had no idea who they were until I googled when we got home. They were using their phones during taxi (not in flight mode) and quickly hiding them whenever cabin crew walked past.

In November I flew LAX-SYD in QF F. I was 5A and Wil Anderson was in 4A. He seemed quite pleasant.

NRL's Benji Marshall with his partner heading into the AKL Koru lounge yesterday afternoon.

This reminded me of a flight I took from Bangalore to Mumbai back in Dec 2001. Friend and I had been to the England - India test in Bangalore and were flying back to Mumbai to spend Christmas with family and we were on the same flight as the England team, along with the whole Sky & Channel 4 entourage (C4 had the TV rights in the UK back then). They were all transiting through BOM and back to the UK that night.

Flight was delayed as we were boarding, so we were chatting to Ian Botham and David Gower at the gate, and ended up sat next to Craig White who had scored a ton in the previous test and won MotM. All of the England team, plus all of the Sky & Channel 4 crew were in economy... except Mark Nicholas. He was the C4 coverage anchor at the time, and even back then (as now) took himself very seriously...

Saw Miriam Margoyles yesterday in the QF Business lounge at SYD. Only a glimpse though, as she wasn't on my flight.

And where are the cricket players?

Shaun Micallef on QF449 on Tuesday in 1A with his wife. He was furiously jotting down notes on a notepad- I'm guessing skit ideas? I don't think he and his wife said a word to each other the entire flight

And what's so strange about that.

Mrs Dmac said something similar about the new A330 suites.
"They look like it would be very hard to talk to your partner on the new setup".
Umm....! Not seeing any issue here?

These were the stragglers. The rest had already entered the lounge which is just on their right.

The guy with the dark blazer and red tie is a player if you enlarge. I've taken the photo from Gate 6 waiting to board and looked across to the club. There are two walking ahead of him also but one is blocked from view by the other player. The rest were already in the lounge.

Who ? Never heard of her

Then you need to view the BlackAdder episode with the "infanta". Especially when Baldrick goes in to do his duty, and we hear her cries, followed by the translator saying "more, more"!!!
