Saw Anna Wintour on an A321T a few days ago. She was traveling first, obviously.

He was in 4F and I was in 5E. He was in Austin for the Moto GP at the track and was traveling with his business partner (their company is Arch Motorcycles).
I had a few words with him. Seems pretty humble, quiet, and nice. He got bombed by people when we got to LAX and he was leaving the gate. Of course everyone getting on the plane stared at him too.
One of the nicer celebs I have met on a flight in the past few years.

Lionel Messi yesterday at the JFK satellite admirals club (surprised he was not at the FL). Sitting in the quiet side of the lounge. I did not notice him when I came in until a few people asked for pictures- he obliged. To my surprise the staff seemed to pester him a bit for pictures which I thought was very unprofessional. I later asked for a picture and he said no.
Sucks he refused the picture, though.

Lt Starbuck, a nervous flyer?? It must be someone else!
Rahm Emanuel count as celebrity? Flew ORD-LAX with him the day before Thanksgiving. Probably personal travel as he was in MCE with his kids.
He didn't seem to get any special treatment (or even a greeting) from fellow pax. Found it a little weird given that he is the mayor of Chicago.

Rihanna & Lea DeLaria
Just flew LAX - JFK in J (A321t) and Rihanna was a few seats ahead of me (surprised she wasn't in F) and Lea DeLaria from Orange is the New Black was sitting right in front of me. Rihanna slept for pretty much the entire flight but Lea was chatting up the FAs and other passengers and talking about her Netflix circuit.
