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

Tony Burke, Minister for Everything. Sat next to me on a rare flight in J for me, BNE-SYD last week.
 
Dave Sharma just walked into the Virgin SYD Lounge. I always like it when pollies don’t just blindly fly Qantas. On the other hand I’d have thought that as a Senator he’d be a Beyond member?
 
Wellington Phoenix in the WLG Qantas lounge, presumably going to MEL.
 
Sorry - the MT reference flies over my head. In order to make a poor joke worse by explaining it - I was referring to the loss of his parliamentary seat to Zali Steggagl.
loss of PM 'seat'.
 
Saw Liz Ellis leaving the Virgin lounge at OOL this morning. Then saw Emma McKeon waiting for her bags at the carousel. Think I saw a few other Olympians around the airport too, going by their kit.
