Not sure if Van Dissel (of the Dutch CDC-equivalent - RIVM) is a celebrity or not, he was on AF1440 last Saturday from CDG-AMS.
He was in J class, saw him actually already in lounge, but I was in doubt if it was him or not, but later during boarding, 1 person separating him and me, I saw the name on the reader with his name.
He seems to be lowly Gold (based on his baggage tag).

Cheers!

The flight was Amelia-operated but AF-marketed for me, so I hope this counts
You were "50 minutes inside" that plane ;-)

OK, now I'm sad that most people on here won't get the joke. That was very, very good

A month after my previous sighting, a much less pleasant encounter at the lounge in PUJ: Alexandre Benalla.

For those of you blissfully unaware of who this *ahem* fine gentleman is, here's a link to his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benalla_affair

And yes, I genuinely thought he was still in jail.

He got 3 years on Nov. 5, 2021, with only one year of jail time (house arrest with electronic bracelet).

Bruno le Maire casually dropping by CDG 2F Ulti lounge… Not the most obnoxious PAX there by far

Does he travel with security or not?

If there was security, it was quite low key.

Seu Jorge in LP section of w premium lounge before GRU-CDG

Pax were flocking to get selfies and shake hands. I had to discretely ask my neighbour who the gentleman was.

Not spotted by me personally, but according to simpleflying KLM's CEO Marjan Rintel worked a LAX rotation as FA. Little odd - and I'm guessing some PR thing. Surprised there is little coverage of this in the news though.
