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

Collingwood players just leaving the Melbourne lounge as I type. (Lounge IQ raises by 10% ! lol, just joking. I actually engaged in a 3 minute conversation, whilst waiting for a coffee, about the upcoming season with a couple of their lesser known players. Articulate, intelligent well-mannered and charming young men. A credit to their club and the AFL.) Bucks hasn't lost any of his fitness either; I'm pretty sure he'd still get a game if required.

Check you still have your wallet
 
Sat next to John Hewson on a recent JQ flight. Seemed nice although not hugely excited that I was reading Joe Hockey's biography. Included is photographic evidence. :)

Why not? It's not like Joe Hockey's on the other 'team'. I would think he'd get more upset if you reminisced about the infamous 'birthday cake' interview with Mike Willesse that cost the Libs the 1993 election.

On their way to HNL and a week of taping. Wonder whether the personality issues have been sorted ;)
Well I hope security didn't let Mr Koch walk straight through the explosive test like VA premium security in Sydney does.
 
The Channel 7 'Sunrise' presenters were enjoying the SYD F lounge Friday afternoon.

If you are on Twitter, look up a Michael Brown @MichaelB2015

He was none too pleased about Sunrise being on the flight. He was the boss of the Asian Cup in Australia, and the FFA's major sponsor is QANTAS...
