Laurence Fishburne was on our flight from Paris to LAX last weekend. It was funny because we had just been discussing him with a couple we met in Salzburg. They, like us, were raving about his amazing performance last month in Fences (with Angela Bassett) at the Pasadena Playhouse.

Air France had too, evidently.
He received "star treatment." Escorted off the plane, walked through customs, first bags off the carousel.

I think it was January 8th of this year...business class lounge at CDG terminal 2F...was sitting to Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe. She's very popular for her, errr controversial videos in the Arab world. She was off to BEY, I was off to YUL!
As soon as some of the Arabs found out about her we all started chatting...and then some Japanese travellers started taking pictures of her lol

10DEC LED-CDG, not sure how much of a celebrity he is nowadays (for some fans he is), F.R.David - well known for his song "Words" (1982) - one of the biggest eurohits of the 80es, was going home after a big 80-es music event.

the thread because I was not flying AF but AT (in the same plane than JL Debré actually) However, there are AF coded flights at Orly South (UX operated for example).
Meilleurs voeux également, et merci à vous deux pour votre contribution sur ce forum ^
