No idea who that is. Just wondering, is her name really spelled with a single l?

yes. Hilary Farr is a fashion designer and is very well known by anyone who has read her up on Wikipedia 10 seconds ago after hearing an unfamiliar name on FT.

Universal agreement on a passenger's status as a celebrity is not a prerequisite for posting in this thread so when you spot someone of some renown please post the sighting in these pages.

Seems I saw the name somewhere (best than the previous name on this thread at least)? An AC employee?

Isn't this one of these people most people around here think she should be sitting in the back so as to make sure there is upgrade space for bottom feeders though?

I'm 99.999999% sure her contract allows for her to book in J anytime as long as there is a seat. Assuming it is in fact in the contract / the policy for this level of employee I see no problem with it at all. If all the rules are followed, good for them!

People have been walking up and asking for pictures so I don't want to be another one.

They are classy though. Super nice.

Coolest thing is they are just having a regular conversation with each other talking hockey history and Canadiana in general. Gotta love it!
