Don't think Greg enjoyed his flight too much. He's just tweeted BA asking who he can speak to about the fight attendant "rarely are your staff so rude"

Won't see him around much next year as part of the F1 circus should he be forced to retire...

After years if never seeing anyone 2 flights on the bounce have had celebs.

Not strictly BA as was travelling on AA136 LAX to LHR (ticketed under BA code share) last night and Ringo Starr and wife Barbara Bach on board.

Funny thing was cabin crew did not know who he was and named him using his real name to a passenger who asked... He was very young (the crew that is) Ringo looked every day of his age

Also the last flight had James Bond this one a former Bond Girl!

For the record AA excelled yet again both with a superb product, good food and engaging crew.....can see why it was packed!

I have to say, if was in Mr Starr's position, this might make me more likely to fly AA. I assume he was flying in F, and it might be nice to be 'just another F passenger'.

(As long as the service was good).

Hang on, a passenger asked the name of whoever was in seat 2C, and was given a name?!

Were you sitting in 2C? Are you famous? Can I get an autographed photo, please?


Joking aside: Seems strange, I would not expect that's normal process.

It was hard not to notice as the 2 passengers were escorted at very last minute on to aircraft by 4 staff in yellow tabards and civies who made rather a fuss. Probably would have gone unnoticed if he had boarded alone. In London he was met at the door and walked to fast track immigration with everyone else.

Slightly OT

1 hour ago, Sir Tom Jones right behind me at t3 fast track with AA (hence OT ) special services. Security was 10 long with only one machine in operation so the AA person made a joke about this not really being fast track. I was surprised that he wasn't scuttled through to the front of the queue. Sir Tom politely greeted someone who said hello.

*Google*. Still none the wiser. Probably why I rarely spot "celebrities".

You mean you don't pay attention to all of the female make-up and clothes adverts that she's in?

How else are you talked into which over-priced mascara to buy?

Just because I am a gay man doesn't mean that I necessarily get dragged up and wear mascara on a regular basis!
