Have been on more than a handful of flights with the one-window-open guy. More than a few where they were asleep

I'm 29, grew up watching Bret Hart. It was pretty cool. Didn't seem like anyone else recognized him. It was a little sad watching him lug his baggage to customs after the flight. He walked with a VERY noticeable limp, almost seemed like he should have had a cane. All those years of 'fake fighting' still take their toll, huh.
He was in Boston last night for WWE pay-per-view. I would have instantly recognized him but I wasn't flying today . I'm surprised few would recognize him on a flight to YYC, BOS-DFW I would understand but not a YYC flight. Perhaps people just gave him space, Canadians are nice people like that .

My best one to date. Sat next to Al Pacino on AUS-LAX. He said very little and clearly didn't want to be bothered, so I didn't really try to engage him. Spent nearly the entire flight rehearsing lines.

11/22 around 1pm, I saw Bruce Campbell, well known for his B movies, his role on Burn Notice and Evil Dead. He was in the Admirals Club on the far side (opposite end of where the bar is) reading a book and checking his phone.

He was on his way to Austin.

I sure the fact that you posted that after someone said they saw Al Pacino was a coincidence.

On the topic of Kanye, he's a ridiculously loyal AA flier. I bet he's CK/EXP.

Yup. I was lucky enough to be on his JFK-LAX in Feb when he created an issue skipping customs!

Wayne Knight yesterday on LAX-LIH. He was in 2E, I was in 2F. I recognized him immediately but didn't want to bother him, I treated him no differently than anyone else.

I imagine everybody else on that flight created the same issue.

I'm assuming he is CK. After exiting the plane, he didn't walk down the jetbridge to the terminal. There was someone that met him right there and escorted him down the stairs to the tarmac.

As I exited to the baggage claim area from the tunnel, there were a bunch of pap's there waiting for him.

Heh. I was on a flight from LAX to JFK with Kyle McLaughlin and the whole time I wanted to say, "Coop, do you think you can get a slice of apple pie and a HOT cup of coffee on this plane"
