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

Mr Alan Joyce on QF409 SYD-MEL this morning. He was sat at the back of J. Seemed to be down at least overnight.

Was BossReggie up front in 1A taking AJ's seat?

Good on him sitting for at the back of J.

 

[simongr]

Especially given that it was right in front of crying baby in front row of whY...

 

[QF WP]

In a Lounge now (well, the Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane):

Marty Willson-Piper (lovers of the band The Church will recognise him)


His gorgeous girlfriend Tiare Helberg (well my camera/iPhone skills don't do her justice):

 

[QF WP]

A much better shot of her:



A Tahitian princess with a honeyed voice...now for the main event, Marty Willson-Piper:

Kevin Rudd on QF8 from Dallas last night.

The wife and I were in seats 8a and 8b and he was in 5j.

Said hello and chatted to staff considering he must have a bit on his mind.

Awkward moment as I was exiting the toilet to find him in his Qantas pj's waiting to use it. What does one way at these times?

Bet he didn't get much sleep

Bet he didn't get much sleep

Aircell probably earned a fortune on air mobile phone costs through those stupid handsets no-one uses ... Unless their political career is on the line!

 

[medhead]

Bet he didn't get much sleep

The man thinks he's a player! He would have slept like a baby now (he thinks) he's back in the main game.

It is a wonderful time for political jokes seeing infamy is now the new order instead.

Im am very sure Dido was in the SYD J lounge yesterday (as I excitedly tweeted), I tried to get a pic, but felt I was being a stalker. I may have been wrong, but am 95% confident it was her.

Not sure about famous, but the 36'ers are in the ADL lounge right now...

Look I said that in 2007 and no one appreciated the remark!!

My how quickly things can change.

I've flown quite a bit but never seen a famous person and known about it. A flight steward once pointed out a member of the Damn Yankees (who?) to me.
My lady friend, though, sat next to Kirk Douglas for a whole flight without realizing who it was.

I could imagine this. I am very anti celeb (dont care and a respect for privacy) this coud easily happen to moi.

And it's not a bad thing either. I had a job once that brought me close to these types, they have all the same issues we have, maybe just a different level of magnitude!

Andrew Gaze was in the SYD J Lounge this morning. He was having a chat with a couple of people who seemed to have a thousand basketball quaestions for him. He was very accomodating, seemed like a nice guy.

Personally, I wouldn't be waying anything. Smile & a nod is my usual greeting for a guy in PJs at the loos. Depends on how long I've kept him waiting, & if he's doing the clutch & dance of the desperate. :shock:

You can get good odds on Kev at the moment if you want a flutter on Sport....
