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

[RWJ777]

In the last week at BNE Domestic I've seen former swimmer Kieran Perkins, TV chef Ed Halmagyi, Aussie model Samantha Harris & somone who I first thought was Larry Hagman but turned out to be QLD pollie Bob Katter with mobile phone glued to his ear as usual. I hope he's on an umlimited usage plan or his bill would be horrendous - I've never seen him not on the phone.

I hope for OUR sake that his phone is on a good plan, for one thing is guaranteed: taxpayers would be picking up the bill not Bob 'Dallas' Katter!

Just ran into Brad "Freddy" Fittler in a cafe/bar in the really small town of Glenorchy about 30 mins drive from Queenstown in NZ

Last Wednesday evening in the Virgin Lounge at Melbourne: Dermott Brereton and Baby John Burgess with his weird hair.

Melbourne Tigers not looking too happy in the Virgin lounge today. I guess they lost which is great for the 36er's considering their win rate has been pretty poor in the last couple of seasons.

South Australians will maybe understand this: I saw my gran in the first row on an Adelaide Canberra flight over the weekend

A few years back I saw the NSW Govenor on a QF to Melbourne, ....but the most impressive thing was she was happily seated in economy. No laurels to be found in 15c !!

Humbled or budget cuts??

I hope we get back to that level of austerity in all of our various governments.
Famous people have been in scarce supply but I did get stuck on an A330 for about 6 hours at Perth Airport with a Federal Government minister.

I'd imagined this lady could fly any class she wanted.

IMO this GOV is first class all the way.....she married a Sir!

On the same trip on the way back flying SYD-MEL after a transit in SYD, Andy Lee from Hamish & Andy (he was in Y)

Hi all first post!

Flying home from SFO Feb 2011 - Sarah and Lachlan Murdoch at the SYD baggage pickup

Flying MEL-CBR a few weeks back to ski, Seat 1A on a very new Virgin plane, reached into magazine holder and pulled out boarding passes from earlier that day belonging to C JUDD and R JUDD.

Not sure if that counts but I chuckled.

If she took his surname and used the married form of his title, she'd be Lady Shehadie! I can therefore understand why she prefers Professor Bashir.

Benicio del Toro in the SYD domestic J lounge at 11am today. I got a photo with him, nice guy.

Jonathan Thurston at TBIT after arriving on the BNE-LAX flight.
Gene Simmons now in the T4 Flagship lounge; also saw him at the Priority Aaccess security screening line, though he did not walk through the teminal, he came back out near the entrance to screening & went somewhere with I guess one of the AA Hosts.

Natasha Stott Despoja was in row 1 of J on my MEL-ADL sector (QF 69x*) yesterday afternoon.

She was behind me in the jet bridge. I actually found my CSM welcome onto the aircraft to be very rushed, fake and uncaring compared to hers
A little disappointing, but I guess I am not famous enough or whatever.
