I had Peter Mandelson sat across from me in CW lax to Lhr in October 16. Thought he’d definitely be F passenger

Alexis Sanchez flying to (presumably) LAX according to Twitter. Quite surprising he's in CW considering they hired a private 747 for the others and hes supposedly on 350k a week.

The problems of having a criminal record for tax issues, and not being able to get a US Visa in time to fly with the rest of the team.....

Gary Barlow and family on BA31 to HKG last night, in F. Didn’t notice them in CCR beforehand.

Gareth Southgate (sans waistcoat) in CCR now.
I’m sure off on a well deserved break.

I was on that flight - don't know too much about football but they were super polite and well-behaved (not what I was expecting at all!). I got talking to one of them - can't remember his name - but he said that whenever he travels, he always goes in club (or equivalent). Never in F. I thought that was surprising given the salaries that these guys are on!

Sat on opposite side of cabin to Sir Kenneth Branagh in F yesterday on BA185 (LHR-EWR). Much consternation from the BA CC in the Immigration queue ('Have you seen Sir Kenneth??'), as he had sped through Global Entry having left his notepad / diary on board...
