Saw him there too. He was also on my flight to YUL, sitting in Y surprisingly. One of the priests left in YUL while the others continued to Geneva I believe.

Does Calin count??
Saw him in YUL lounge Sunday afternoon/evening. He was there for a short visit and had a few people go up to him. (not me!)
Then saw AIRFORCE 1 as we landed in YYZ, and saw the motorcade to the plane as we were walking along the airport corridor...

How 'bout Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:

As Britain enjoyed sweltering temperatures, the Queen's chartered Air Canada plane touched down in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in a downpour that soaked the waiting dignitaries sheltering under umbrellas.

Sure hope they chartered a Jetz plane for Her Majesty and not one of the non-XM 767!

My seatmate on a YVR - PDX flight last Tuesday said that he saw Daniel Sedin waiting at a gate for a flight out to Las Vegas for the NHL Awards. Mentioned that he seemed friendly and talked to a lot of the people who came up and said hello. I was curious as to how anyone knew it was Daniel and not Henrik.

The royal couple walked up the narrow tunnel from the chartered Air Canada jet just like ordinary travellers into the James Armstrong Richardson Airport, which is still being finished and is scheduled to open at the end of the year.

I understand the older Galen does/did have a private jet, but Junior is a regular AC customer. He does seem pretty level-headed, but the stories I've heard about mum would leave you in stitches.

"Since her arrival June 28 Queen Elizabeth has crisscrossed Canada, from Halifax to Ottawa to Winnipeg to three days in Southern Ontario, where she braved searing heat, and just yesterday flew on a chartered Porter Airlines plane to Research in Motion in Waterloo, flew back to visit the film studio, then sat for an official dinner with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
