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

[straitman]

We had the Essendon AFL team in the DJ lounge about a week ago. After last weekends effort I have to ask how 'famous' they really are?

 

[Greggsy]

We had the entire wallabies team on our DeathStar flight today from Newcastle to Brisbane. Had James Slipper next to me, Robbie Deans in the seat behind and David Pocock in the seat in front.

And yes, they looked sorry for themselves but rather thawed out after last night against Scotland.

Belated update but recent events reminded me that we had James Hogan (CEO of Etihad) on our AUH-MAN flight a few weeks ago. It was the night before Man City clinched the Premier League and the J cabin was heavily populated with senior EY marketing and management types from the snippets of conversation overheard. Fortunately it all worked out for them the next day... just.

Maybe he took the door from the male toilet to replace one at his residences.

I thought this thread was for famous people.

Someone in this thread said they saw 'the guy who wrote a report for the Government on climate change'.

I didn't consider that to be a celebrity.

He is in government and climate change circles..

Robbie did ask what I was doing on Saturday night. Sitting in between two beefy props I hope he didn't mistake me for a hooker (because I'm definitely a loosehead).

I read that and thought it said "horrible".

 

[simongr]

I was going to say dishonorable but the spirit of this thread was to avoid political debate...

Well other hookers have mistaken who they've been with so why not mistake someone for a hooker? If you accept HSU credit cards you may well be a hooker. :mrgreen:

Saw Matt Moran in Broome airport boarding a plane back to Brisbane on Sunday. Stephanie Alexander was also there and sat in front of us on the flight to Perth.
