Please do not mention Barbara Becker.Her former husband is slowly falling down into B celebrity status, so what would be her status ?

There are only two dozen+ letters, but even Z would be way too high for her.

Speaking of Z celebrities, once on an CRJ 700 from DUS to MUC the casted boy band from Pro 7, Overload was their name IIRC

All the guys in C , mothers and managers in Y, me in exit row overlooking an ugly display of akne vulgaris and absolutely no style or voice whatoever...

Sat next to Leftfield on their way back from a concert in FRA to LHR. They gave me tickets to the Reading festival they were playing at that night.

[QUOTE=chapinpirulin]Sat next to Florian Gerster (1 A) (former head of the German Unemployment Office)a couple of months ago on MSO-FRA.

didn't know Lufthansa had a flight Missoula - Frankfurt. Big demand on that route?

No way Mr. Gerster flew Missoula - Frankfurt, because there is no LH flight.

Sat next to Melanie Thornton FRA-LAX two weeks before she died in the Crossair (Swissair) crash in ZRH. Very sad indeed.

Well, my 2 cents: I'll see him once a month aboard a LH plane ...

Thank you for the 2nd contribution on your perceived fact, that anyone famous only flies BA - which you also pointed out on the corresponding thread in the BA forum.

Frankly - I could not care less who else uses the same plane as I do - whether this person is famous or not - but what I do care about is to get catered for - and not offered a Y meal in F such as the worlds favorite airline currently does and keeps on doing for over a month now it seems.

By consequence - those who fly BA miss the opportunity to receive what they pay for - the service reflecting their class of travel.

WOW - I really wonder what I would prefer to miss ???

Cheers

Thomas

Sorry, this thred is titled what?? "Celebrities or semi-celebrities"?? The thread on BA was titled what?? Something similar?? I didn't say that anyone famous only flies Ba, I specifically said in a thread on the same topic on another airline that the level of "famousness" is better over there. If you had any idea of what you were talking about you would know that I am one of the most critical BA posters and therefore what you write is utterly nonsensical.
