Hope this is acceptable since it was in Miami airport rather than explicitly on a BA flight etc.
Just seen Nigel Lythgoe going through international flight connections at Miami. He had a little tęte-ŕ-tęte with the security people since they were running a fast track lane for first class ticket holders (which I was annoyed about as well).
I had a brief chat with him about the lack of a first class security channel - seems a jolly nice chap.

Were you telling him about your TP run . I'm just about to read the latest section as I've been in London the past 2 days

I was brave though and I did speak to him about the lack of a fast track, and that's not me. I am pretty good at spotting celebrities (the wife's standard response is "Where? I didn't see them"), but I don't normally have the courage to say anything to them.

Sting in CCR with Trudie Styler last week. He sat at the bar drinking rosé at 10am. A few people approached him for photos which he seemed fine with. He was even carrying his guitar, maybe about to do a sing song.

Slightly OT but entire entourage of the Sultan of Brunei (including some of his junior wives and kids I guess) on BA347 NCE-LHR on 18 Dec. Interestingly some of them had carry-on with yellow laminated tags. At first I thought they were FT but I looked closer and they were inscribed "to travel with HRH Sultan of Brunei." Bit of a palaver on arrival with VIP greeters. I was in row 1 so overheard a lot of the flappy VVIP talk. They were all well back in Y.
