You'll never see him on a commercial flight though. He has at least 4 Falcon biz jets in their own hangar at Morristown airport in NJ.
Yeah, but Bloomberg's team picks him up at his apartment, drives him a few blocks to the subway stop, and then races down the east side to meet him when he emerges from the subway to take him the few blocks to City Hall.

Not sure how that helps the environment.

I doubt whether it's the same team picking him up. The Lexington ave line is way, way quicker than streets or FDR drive unless sirens are going.

Dog the Bounty Hunter at ORD!

Duane 'Dog' Chapman, wife Beth, son Leland and small entourage sitting and chatting on cell phone quietly at the Admirals Club (between H & K gates).

Believe there was an AA handler also present with walkie-talkie who led them away once he received some type of message about a 'package' being ready.

Looks just like he does on TV - Beth is quite friendly, too.

Cliff from Cheers!

John Ratzenberger (Cliff) on AA1763 ORD-SNA 4/24. He was extremely pleasant and chatted for about 15 min with the FAs in the galley.

The FC Dallas MLS Team on April 21 from LAX to DFW on AA 2458 at 5:15 PM.

A few team members were searted in F through sticker/EXP upgrades(that's what they told their mates as they were walking past) and the ret of the team was in Y.


Further proof that MLS and NFL are in different leagues.

NFL - chartered flights, special catering, and customized schedules

MLS - coach in AA

The USA Martial Arts Olympics team on a flight from HEL-JFK on Finnair, 21 April. They had just competed (and won) at the Martial Arts Olympics in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Maybe that's why we had such a nice flight: you can't imagine the peace of mind from knowing that terrorists cannot possibly start anything because the USA's official butt-kicking team is aboard.

Maybe that's why it's so noisy at the NRT Admiral's Club - Rudy Giuliani is here.

It really depends on the route. JFK <-> LAX movie stars and athletes. BNA <-> LAX Country singers. In and out of DCA Politicans. MIA models and celebrities.
