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

As in Patty Hearst the heiress/bank robber?

Sure was - the yanks were all staring and making a big deal of it.
She just looked like a normal mom, or is that grand mom?

 

[awilcockson]

Saw Laurie Lawrence in the PQQ departures lounge last night. He kept himself busy entertaining a couple of kids with magic tricks

Melissa George, QF12 on 23 Sep. As she came through the lounge in LAX there was a lot of "remember, that bird from Home and Away".

Ricky Ponting was on my flight SYD-PER on Sunday.

 

[Sprucegoose]

I sat behind Helen Clark, then PM of NZ, on an Air NZ flight from Auckland to Wellington - all amazingly low-key, an all-economy flight, she was in 1F and I was in 2F, she boarded a bit late with a minder/assistant of sorts, but that was about all!

shes only a kiwi!!!

[QF WP]

Tonight no doubt! Is that the only one????

 

[ozbeachbabe]

Well well well, wonders never cease. Someone arrives right on minus 30 with baggage for ISA & one could be forgiven for thinking "here we go again" how many minutes delay will we get today but 10 minutes later they'd boarded the flight & they weren't last.

Might go and get a lottery ticket or something. :shock:

Bear Grills. Right now. Syd Dom J lounge.

 

[DJSYD81]

Morello the winner of The Apprentice Australia in the Sydney Virgin Lounge now.

 

[ozbeachbabe]

Bear Grills. Right now. Syd Dom J lounge.

Well he's used to eating horrible stuff like beetle larvae so the NPPPs should be a walk in the park! :shock:

Geoffrey Edelstein looking very low key standing next to me at a US airport bar.
And the guy in across from me on the A388 with his daughter, was at the back of the cabin but had to move due to a technical fault. Surrounded by CC for half the flight, all taking notes (or numbers? - but his wife is downstairs with the baby). Looks like a rugby union player or maybe he is some kind of cabin crew guru dispensing wisdom. Kinda weird.

 

[samiam]

Bear Grills. Right now. Syd Dom J lounge.

Sure it's not a body double?

 

[muppet]

Sure it's not a body double?

Haha. Def real thing. He was sitting at the island table opposite talking. Plus getting lots of attention from j lounge staff.

After a long flight from Munich to Seattle on LH J class, I went through US customs with Lauren Jackson who was returning to Seattle after playing for Australia in the 2004 Athens Olympics which I was watching on TV just a few days before the flight. We (Australia) lost to the US in the gold medal play off.

She was friendly and we chatted for a few minutes in the queue waiting for our US customs grilling. We're both Australian, she's 6'5" and I'm 6'2".

I delivered a Pizza to her when I was a Dougie back in the day (I actually had a name badge that said Dougie even though that's not my name)

 

[travellerqff]

Met Jessica Mauboy and her partner at Perth Airport security. Then on the flight to Sydney, she was seated first row of Economy.
