On leaving Ba1333 NCL/LHR there was a driver with a sign for Alex Salmond at domestic arrivals. I had a date with FTers so couldn’t hang around to see if it was THE Alex Salmond.

A gentle reminder for people to please post the class of travel (if known) if you see a celebrity on board. It adds detail to your post and is a vaguely important point in a thread all about how others travel.

Jonathan Ross and his wife Jane at the baggage carousel in JFK collecting their bags from BA115 (LHR-JFK) on Mon 26th Feb. I assume they travelled in First. They certainly weren't in WTP with me!

Looks like very minor celeb "Rickay" (Sid Owen) from Eastenders was in Y from DXB to LHR - twice 
- a little while ago and provided some unexpected entertainment.

Mo Farah in J on the LHR-MUC flight on Monday evening. I would like to point out that I overtook him on the way to arrivals. Yes. I overtook Mo Farah. It would appear that he went to flight transfers and then got roughed up by German security. I can categorically say that he wasn't drunk as he slept the whole way from LHR to MUC.

I was in the MAN lounge then on BA1399 MAN-LHR with him on Tuesday 6/3. He sat in Y in the first row behind the curtain. A few people wanted to shake his hand in the boarding queue.
