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

I wasn't on their flight to Perth, I was waiting at the next gate, but I saw the Flames (the WNBL) on Friday.

Always though such names, such as Bombers, Flames etc not good for aircraft pxs,

Of course there was dilemma when asked if they had anything flammable.

I’ve had a few ASX20 CEOs of late onboard around me doing the earnings circuit.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but for those out there engaging with these businesses what’s your approach to casual engagements in situations like onboard? I’ve struck up conversations with CEOs, CIOs, chairs etc but it’s always a balancing act I feel in the onboard context.

Why bother?

 

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

Because they are decision makers in firms I have a business relationship with.

Actually scrap my comment I can see it’s not going to be particularly fruitful asking in this forum.

I actually thought why are you asking that question in this forum. if you don’t know by now, you never will….

AMM~BCN on RJ a few days ago, plane was fully boarded, then this lady boarded via the starboard door, seated in 1C. She was permitted to keep her carryon with on with her including take off and landing.
Just before descent, the CSM spoke to us and said she was a princess and would be exiting first.
I took this sneaky pic, have no idea who she is.
We caught up to her in the aerobridge with a ground handler and then disappeared thru a side door.

After a bit of Google sleuthing, I'm going to suggest it was most likely Princess Basma bint Talal of Jordan

Surely that case was not allowed to remain on the floor.

Nice find. I tried too and got nowhere using revers image search.

Considered an image search, but ultimately went with ChatGPT. Asked it to list Princesses over the age of 60, then narrow that list down to any who would be likely to fly between AMM and BCN. Reviewed the most promising of those suggestions in Google, and voila!

Yet another example of Gen AI helping solve the world's greatest mysteries

And another example of being very directive of ChatGPT too because my generic picture search and it described a very generic situation. You've got to drill down.

Use ChatGPT multiple times a day now.
