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

[QF WP]

That man grows in my estimation every year..,

It was a bit weird to see him put on his dark sunglasses after we had taken off (perhaps for the sun), but leave them on until dinner service. He had them off when he came aboard (a couple of pax behind me)...

QF971 today TSV-BNE.I was in 8D,Bob Katter in 8B.

Cant have much status as I had a silver shadow.

He fell asleep within a minute of getting some notes out to read.Woken by an old lady about 40 minutes out of BNE-she stood in the aisle and physically woke him.He was very gracious.

Two very useful attributes for a pollie.

Bad night or light sensitivity issues? I've had both!

Ronan Keating QF02 LHR-DXB 26/04 in F with other half

I was about 5 when Reg Ansett (I think) flew us on a joy flight at channel O in his helicopter.

John Brumby in J NRT-SYD and then squeezing in with the rest of us on the transfer shuttle bus to go to the CL.

Penny Wong and +1 on QF751 SYD-ADL yesterday. Penny in 2D, +1 in 2F. Mrs. B and I in 2A, 2C.

If I was a stalker I could have written down a mobile number as it was clearly visible on a Q Tag.

And the +1 got my prawn salad!!! 2D/2F were served before 2A/2C with the +1 choosing the salad, Penny the soup. When Mrs.B and I were served we both wanted the salad but there was only one left for Mrs.B. A bit OT but it does make you wonder why QF only had 4 prawn salads on board, the other 2 taken by row 1 :shock:

No light sensitivity issue as he was watching a movie on the supplied iPad then another on his laptop. Maybe he was stalking me

Ronan Keating QF02 LHR-DXB 26/04 in F with other half

That's who it was!!!

I was on QF2 in F and recognised the face, but couldn't remember who he was...


He looks quite different to the airbrushed shots


His other half was quite good looking, and they shared a suite for most of the flight... Could have saved some money and just bought one seat

 

[penegal]

Incidentally, I have flown many sectors in J and F in the past couple of weeks, and seen a few people who might have been famous (e.g. special treatment, or others looking at them), but I don't really know who any of them are...

Who's that?

 

[drron]

Did he eat his breakfast?

 

[Newk]

I think he did...I had to stop myself from looking all the time.

 

[QF WP]

Surely you've eaten a couple of his famous party pies in a Qantas Club

 

[Tooner]

He was catching up with Pushka, right?
