[QF WP]

Good to see you online dot. Go and share a beer with him

Rod March is at the LAX OW F lounge right now.

If only I knew who that was; I was there last/on Weds night, but QF12 boarded at 9:30pm.

 

[serfty]

I tought he meant "Rod Marsh" ... and it was a little bit of PUTI ...

This guy: Greater Los Angeles Area - Director of food and Beverage Bel Air Bay Club. How would you not know who he was?

 

[DJSYD81]

Shane Watson on SQ SIN-SYD. Nice guy.

Hope the lounge/plane were well stocked

 

[Febs]

All the celebs i've seen at LAX have been in the T4 A/C (not even the FL)!

Ditto (most famous being Steve Carrell - as nice a guy as everyone says he is).

Cheers,

[Storyteller]

Is it true that everyone sees celebrities at admirals club LAX? Because I only ever bumped into Dr Edelsten. Admittedly have spent most time in TBIT.

Saw Cindy Crawford there.

Missed you by a day I was there Tues night.

Thursday, SYD Flounge, Jennifer Hawkins. Gorgeous. Traveling with equally lovely female friend. Sat near us in the dining area for a quiet uninterrupted meal.

 

[KitKat]

aaaah, MEL Flounge is outstanding again....... where is the statin (cholesterol lowering medication)
Oh well, the Merlot will have to do

 

[medhead]

Just to add to that... he just left the First Dining area, so must actually be in the F cabin (I'm guessing on QF2 with medhead QF10 with me). I wonder if he wants to swap for my whY seat. Should I ask him?

My money is on him being CL......so maybe not F

He wasn't in the J cabin on QF2. I didn't risk going down stairs to have a look. I am not really sure he would make the grade for CL.

 

[QF WP]

Just came through BNE DJ Security with Jonathan Browne from BNE Lions and now in The Lounge with the whole team on their way to MEL

Is he a QF Ambassador? At worst he'd be P1 from his QF flying on Rugby Union commentating

Not sure about the ambassador thing. Does he do commentating? Must be on commercial TV if he does.

Been an ambassador since 2004 - Got CL written all over him

John Eales

Qantas Global Ambassador

John has been a Qantas Ambassador since 2004 and is proud to be the host of the Qantas Wallabies Rugby Experience and Captain's Run events.
The two events allow Frequent Flyers and Qantas staff to share in what it is like to play for Australia on match day. They include a tour of the locker room, stadium facilities and an insight into some of the memorable moments in Qantas Wallabies folklore. The experiences culminate with an autograph and photo session on the pitch, where Australian rugby history has been created.
John Eales played 86 test matches for Australia, 55 as Captain. He participated in two successful World Cup campaigns, led Australia to three Bledisloe Cup wins and two Tri-Nations trophies.
He also led the Qantas Wallabies to the first ever defeat of the British and Irish Lions. In 2010, John was appointed to the board of the Australian Rugby Union.
John Eales continues to be a great ambassador for Qantas and Rugby.

Dave Hughes (I'm fairly sure) in MEL J lounge - domestic - yesterday. Was wearing a bag of fruit sans tie.

 

[Jasecoop]

sat next to Penny Wong a few weeks back. was second flight in a row she was on my plane. She mentioned she flew back from Canberra the night before and was on the next morning flight back. So much for carbon footprint. Thought about asking her what jobs she was going to apply for next year

 

[Foreigner]

On Thai from SYD to BKK Last Sunday, 20th May, I saw this economist and occasional writer, I think worked for Australian Trade Commission. Not quite famous but someone I have heard at functions.

 

[GoBigOne]

This friend of mine Richard and Famous . com has met quite a few.

 

[Flashback]

Michael Malone at PER International QP. He was right behind me at check-in, looks like he is on his way to London also.
