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

[Strikes]

Last month I was in the Alaska Lounge at LAX and Jeff Goldblum wandered in - he's very tall!

Iain Glenn was on our flight from DPS to SYD last night. What an incredibly good looking man.

Ah. One of my fav GoT characters.

I'm pretty sure me and some others paid for a really nice private/military jet for our PM to use. Wondering why he wasn't using it?

Perhaps it was a family vacation and I dont think we would like our PM using the government aircraft for personal gain.

It was definitely a family vacation and not official travel

Seated next to the Folou’s at ADL VA lounge currently. Both very polite and engaging

Sally McManus ACTU President in Domestic Business Lounge Melbourne Saturday AM. Taking full advantage of the buffet offerings with several visits as well as displaying the ACTU position on pay increases "Change the Rules" on her shirt for all to see.

Yep, the survey that a review found didn't resonate with the community. With union membership down to 14 per cent, I could've told her that.

Infamous, not 'famous.'

Sat next to Josh Frydenberg two months ago. Virgin Australia business, CBR-MEL.

 

[serfty]

Flew beside a pleasant and engaging Evonne Goolagong-Cawley, OOL-SYD on VA last Sunday. It as difficult to believe they are 68 years old.

It's Sir Angus Houston. He's not fond of and is never called 'Gus'

Quite true. I've only had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times in person, and despite me not being Military, I always addressed him as Sir - as he's earned it

I first meet him in around 92 or 93, he was a GPCAPT, I had to address him as Sir, I was a Junior Officer at the time.

I have known (Sir) Angus since 1970, we did helicopter conversion course together and flew together a lot in those years. Angus is still a personal friend.

A couple of tall gents ushered past me at BNE security back in 2007 turned out to be Glenn McGrath and Michael Clarke on their way to the CWC. All suited up. I had turned at the sound of "You want one of these, Pidge?" as Clarke handed McGrath a tray.

At the other end of the height scale, I was in the security queue with Ronnie Corbett at Gatwick as he was heading up to Edinburgh for the Open golf.

Then a couple of years ago I was delayed at airport hotel check in in Johannesburg by ex-PM Julia Gillard and her entourage - about 7 of them.

His name isn't Angus, it's his nickname, as I'm sure you know!!

 

[Major]

He is also on the Board of VA

It must’ve been late September/early October last year, there was a bit of fuss outside a meeting room door in the Qantas first lounge Sydney. Turned out to be Rhianna and her entourage when QF55 to BNE/LAX was called for boarding.
