Back in March I had to do a day trip MEL-LAX-MEL and Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the lounge / on my flight back from LAX-MEL (United)

Literally ran into Peter FitzSimons walking through the BNE Terminal last Thursday night (I got off a VA flight ~ 8.25pm and was meeting @Captain Halliday's flight around at QF Gate 19). For those that don't know him: Peter FitzSimons - Wikipedia. Yes, as usual, wearing his trademark Red Bandana

[Captain Halliday]

My commiserations QF WP.

Commiserations because he ran into Fitzy or met me? Should I be offended @drron?

Well if you wear a red bandanna virtually all the time prepare to be offended.

Andrew Winter (selling houses) in BNE VA lounge, quietly minding his own business

Vincent D'Onofrio at the old VA boarding gate at LAX, he turned up 1 minute before boarding and was let on first

Josh Hartnett on a VA flight, he got on first and was scoping out the entire plane before taking his assigned seat...J pax who had just stepped on the plane were asked to wait in the aisles while he was walking up and down looking rather paranoid

Rob Schneider (can't remember where?) I was distracted and when I looked up I pointed at him and said 'hey, I know you', thinking it was someone I knew in real life... He walked over and grabbed my hand and kissed it and said 'pleasure, my lady' and walked away

Joel Garner on last night's SYD-BNE flight. Was paged to lounge reception a few minutes before boarding. Flight was full and he was in business so not sure if last minute upgrade.

I was going to say hello but thought better of it and respected his privacy.

 

[Buzzard]

Joel Garner? Never heard of him.

I am assuming the West Indies fast bowler from the 80's? If so, given his height I would want to be in Business class too!

The chairs in the waiting suite don't look any better than the QF lounge, in fact they look more uncomfortable.
