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

A few months back I saw Shane Warne flirting with attendants at the gate while they upgraded him (no idea why he was in Y).

I suppose Warne flirting isn't anything new

It would probably be bigger news if he was not flirting :!:

Strange, doesnt he usually flirt electronically (sms, twitter etc>)

Wow. There are not many female netball players I would say are 'Gorgeous' (I did security at a few WA netball league games many years ago, and a lot of them were more masculine than I am!).

The Women's hockey team are the best of the lot.. they are drop dead gorgeous! i have a photo with Kate Hollywood to prove it!

Maybe our definitions of 'Gorgeous' are not the same!

Anyway the ones I did see looked quite good in their 'civilian' clothes and I would not have recognised any of them if it was not for the 'Thunderbirds' on their shirt. In fact I had to look up Google which city the Thunderbirds call home.

Come to think of it one of them at the desktops was staring at me (rather rudely) as I walked around looking for a spare desktop. It was then that I noticed the 'Thunderbirds' on her blue shirt.

I have met (not just seen) at airports or in lounges:

Richard Wright - keyboardist from Pink Floyd - alas, just an autograph and no concert tickets... BA T4(?) LHR

Most names on here, I either wouldn't know, even if I sat on them, or wouldn't care to meet, but Rick Wright.......WOW, a rock legend.......not to mention a now, never to be repeated opportunity.

My contibution to the thread is minimal I'm afraid,
a) Laurie Lawrence BNE - LAX (Oct. 2009)
b) Mark Occhilupo (and assorted other finbacks) OOL-SYD (around August 2010)
c) Mad Ron Bakir (phone retailer and money man behind the Schapelle Corby defence) either MKY or ROK - BNE (can't remember-sorry) but the flight steward didn't stop yapping to him all flight (which made the drinks trolley late). Poor guy, probably just wanted some peace and quiet without bloody phones ringing and cops that instead

Currently onboard a Virgin America flight from JFK to LAX and sitting next to Firass Dirani who played John Ibrahim in Underbelly 3 the Golden Mile and was 2010 Cleo Batchelor of the Year. Absolute ripping bloke. Seriously top-class guy. Has been a pleasure to meet him.

You must be talking about this group of players, JohnK

You mean the 2011 Hockeyroos (I note Kate Hollywood isn't in the 2011 squad) - yes, she's pleasing to the eye

That's the one!! She's also pleasing when she puts her arm around you! Photo is on my FB page!

A few there look quite OK but totally different when you see them in their off-field gear with their hair down.

On returning from Auckland to Sydney last week, met Fast Ed (Chef from BH&G) in the F Lounge, mrs ejb had photo with him and then sat in front of him in 1C. Very nice guy and very friendly to strangers.

Very tall and needed all the legroom in J to fit. I couldn't recline as it would have broken his legs.

I met 22 famous people on Saturday afternoon at the BNE QC...a delegation from Flyertalk (and most concurrent AFF members). Not a bad smattering of Plats either

Not really. I saw a bit of the Thunderbirds vs Swifts game yesterday and Netball is definitely boring.
