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

Im sure he can afford to buy F or J outright (probably still gets the staff discount).

I think as part of his outgoing package he gets a certain number of flights in Qf F per year free.

Why buy when you get lifetime free f flights? (Even if they are QF F)

Works for me!

I must have made the wrong career choices…

I’ll rephrase, why buy F on QF?

Does anyone?

Those seats are either staff, AFF’rs on points or upgrades and once in a Blue Moon celebrities!

Bumped into him in the MEL VA Lounge and again on the aerobridge as we waited to board our plane back home - AFL legend Luke Hodge (played for both Hawthorn and Brisbane). We’re both missing out on the AFL draft (live now)

For those that aren’t sports mad:

"Bumped into him"

I'd be careful bumping into him, being an ex-AFL player, I'd say he's got you covered in the bumping stakes.

Dannii Minogue on her way to an event in Sydney from Melbourne on QF of course - Was lovely and stopped every few metres for photos with many people who recognised her!

Hugo Weaving in SYD Qantas FLounge just now.

Fun fact: many years ago he used to date an ex work colleague of mine.

Haven't met anyone yet but the dream would be to meet Michael O'Leary on a Ryanair flight

Who's that? And why?

 

[Mr_Orange]

Who's that? And why?

He is the CEO of Ryan Air, an airline that makes EasyJet look like Virgin Upper Class.

He is (in)famous for exploring the potential for standing "seating" on his planes!

As for the 'why', I have no idea!

Lol - pretty much sums it up.

Plus being the greatest CEO in the world also helps

It would be interesting to hear if anyone’s perception of a celebrity changed after meeting them (as opposed to spotting them). Two of the most beautiful celebs (or partners of celebs) I have had the honour to meet were Carrie Bickmore and the late John Kennerley (KAKs Husband) on a trip to Dubai , both very much decent human beings who came across as equals and easy to get along with.

Probably off topic, however. I went on a Ryan Air flight earlier this year and I was reasonably impressed.
$110 Ausie including my reasonably “oversize” carryon and row one seating. The girl at check in was pretty helpful and seemed genuinely surprised that I was friendly and did not grumble at her

Have to agree with you on Carrie. I’ll add vet Dr Chris Brown (both on the same trip to Dubai in 2013). How time flies

Agree with Dr Chris as well. That right honorable dude we had a drink with in the J lounge onboard seems to have gone places……

Marcia Hines was in the MEL dom J lounge leaving at 9 30am. Beautiful lady.

Well I was lounging in a cafe in Goulburn.
