Eddy Stoiber on LH 235 Sundaynight
Since besides me only his entourage travelled in C that night, they talked pretty openly about what happened in Berlin that Day.
Eddy entertained the crowd by saying he will come back like Muhammad Ali in Zaire.

tokio hotel
stumbled across thise thread and remembered an Email i got from a friend back in August. by now -unfortunately- tokio-hotel is very succesful in germany and going on the nervs of grown-ups...
for those non-german speakers: my friend basically is making fun of them, being "stars" and complaining to the purser that they did not get food in Y on CGN-MUC -- he felt sorry for them and handed out some cookies...

Hahahahahah,
ich hab dir doch mal erzählt, dass bei mir im Flieger von Köln nach München
irgendso eine "newcomer" Band neben mir in der Reihe saß.
Jetzt weiß ich wer des is, hab die friesen wieder erkannt:
http://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/prom...rKomplett.html
Übrigens, wenn des Jungs sein solln, läuft da phänotypisch irgend was aus
dem Ruder, die haben damals eher nach mädels ausgesehen. Über androgyn könnt
ich noch streiten, aber jungs, niemals.
Sie haben sich übrigens drüber aufgeregt, dass sie im Flieger in der
Holzklasse nix zum essen bekommen. Der purser hatte dann aber Mitleid und
hat ihnen ein paar Kekserl gebracht.... Naja als "popstar" hat mans auch
nicht leicht.

Well, over the time I've seen some popular guys...
Most amazing was Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi with their little baby Jaden Gil in summer 2002 on a FRA-SFO flight. They were sitting in 84A&C, and I was just in front of in 83A.
In addition I've seen and recognized on flights (and still remember): Juergen Weber (former LH CEO) on FRA-MIA, Axel Schulz (heavyweight boxer) on FRA-LAX, Ottfried Fischer ("The bull from Tölz" - German actor) on MUC-FRA, Hannelore Elsner (German actor) on HAM-FRA. Msr. Elsner did very bad. She had a young lover with her and seemed to be drunken. She was giggling all the time was throwing some small papers and candies around her.
As well I think, I've seen Robert de Niro once in the LH SEN Lounge in FRA. Was not really sure.
About 10 years ago I was on a flight GVA-FRA with the entire German soccer team Hambuger SV, sitting just an aisle away from Felix Magath (who is the coach of #1 German soccer team Bayern Munich today).
I assume, there were much more people on all my flights feeling to be popular. But sorry for them, I didn't really recognize or didn't know them.

Flying from and to TXL (most times to FRA) you can almost always see any politicians in C. Last time I sat next to Franz Müntefering (now german vice cancelor). But I'd not talk of celeb in this case.

On HAJ-MUC this morning, Seal was in 2A and I was in 3A. He had a guy carrying his guitar seated back in economy. He had the full royal VIP treatment. Staff brought him and his entourage onboard last. LH staff waiting on the tarmac at MUC with a BMW.
So I was wondering, does he get this top level VIP treatment because he is a moderately successful singer? Or is it purely because of who he is married to?

Celebs in TXL
The TXL SEN Lounge has a very high load of semi Celebrities.
This Firday there was Hans-Dietrich Genscher (former foreign Minister of Germany) and Michael Glos and a lot of members of parliament.
I wondered that there was such a high load of politicians on a friday evening.
Normally there is the high load on Thursday, because they want to be at home with mum on Friday!
A way to get the SEN lounges more empty: Dont give the members of parliament the SEN-Card for free!
