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

[HirafuHeartAttack]

Craig Bellamy at Mel Qantas terminal. He went through the standard security line, which made me realise that was 3 x quicker than the priority line as it was only given 1 scanner vs 4 for the regular queue.

Taika Waititi in the QF SYD FLounge on Fri 12/5. I'd guess he was on the QF HKG flight, don't think he was on QF11. Could be wrong.

Christine Holgate last week on QF J AKL-SYD - I didn't recognise her, but my travelling companion was smitten and struck up some conversation

Were they after a Cartier watch?

Too soon?

A few high profile Aussie cricketers in SYD F on Friday

Tony Abbott looking like he’s had a long trip so far in EK F in DXB this morning

A few of the Sky F1 presenters were on my flight from LHR-NCE on Wednesday. Behind the curtain!

If you're a Sky Q or Sky Glass customer, you too can rewatch this highlight by pressing the red button!

I hope you smiled and said “Hiya!” to Mr Kravitz

 

[SYD]

Alla Wolf-Tasker just went past me boarding my flight MEL-SYD. She seemed bewildered that a seat in a row number less than 10 wasn’t Business Class.

She’s also managed to get a full row on an otherwise *very* empty flight flight! SYD+1 and I have 3 seats each in Row 6. 6 ea if you count the completely empty row 7 behind us, so we can recline with impunity - something I rarely do SYD<->MEL.

Christine Holgate

Saw her last week (or the week before) at CBR

@SYD and @dairyfloss, I have been looking for my last photo taken in September of said sparrow - alas I have a Samsung and can't find it

Did the resident sparrow try and make a nest in his hair?

Is he still there??!!

I was referring to the MEL J lounge sparrow

I saw him Aug 2022, pic in the post link below. Not pic of the sparrow, but of his cage

If I’m not mistaken, Dan Bourchier in the SYD Dom J Lounge today.

 

[Human]

Flew MEL-SYD yesterday on the same flight as Aaron Finch, flying up for Channel 9 cricket duties. Had a nice chat at the luggage carousel.

 

[Katie]

Mr Katie flew with Simon Baker, Sallyanne Atkinson, and Ray Martin last week BNE-LRE.

The entire Collingwood AFL team, leaving the VA lounge at MEL just now as we arrived.

Are they on the OOL or BNE flight?

Are they on the OOL or BNE flight?

OOL. It was being called around the time they were all leaving. There’s also a bunch of St Kilda players wandering around, presumably waiting for the PER departure in ~ a hour.

Antony Green looking suspiciously at the chicken scallopini in the Air NZ lounge in SYD the other night.
