May I suggest a thread name change to "Celebs" on BA?
Clearly many FTers enjoy this thread but it bemuses me.
Famous people fly on commercial flight- shocker!

Usain Bolt on return from Warsaw to London on August 24th. He'd won a race the night before and came on with trophy. He was with two mates, all three head to toe in puma/jamaica gear with huge headphones, looking very cool. He obviously didn't check his boarding pass as he had to edge past everyone in the aisle from row 9 to his seat in row 1 after just walking on and expecting to be sat with his mates, both in row 9.
UK Border staff were later seen posing for 'selfies' which while great for their Facebook and quite comical, could have come across as slightly unprofessional.

Tony Blair was in the JFK CCR on Thursday evening, he was in the VIP room but his son was outside eating with a couple of friends. He and party just walked straight through security with about 4 minders, no x-rays or metal detectors for Tony.

No definitely nothing. I was just at the start of the ramp, unloading laptop and taking off shoes when one of the BA staff, requested that the fast track "be stopped after this gentlemen". The next thing Tony speeds past so quickly airport staff opening the gate to the side of the metal detector and he marches straight through, one of the party carrying his hand luggage another his checked luggage, nothing was scanned. At the top of the ramp they turned left and went into the CCR. It was only once in the CCR did I see who it was, happened so quickly.
