Separately, now in the LHR CCR: Dame Joan Collins and Tommy Lee Jones.

Edited to add: apparently I missed Dustin Hoffman who was in the dining area.

And he returned yesterday (Sunday 15th) also in row 1, with - I think - his other half. They and two other gentlemen were together in the lounge before the flight, but those two men travelled in Y.

I was surprised because 1) I thought she would be in private jet territory, and 2) J rather than F and 3) she ended up in baggage claim like everyone else before going through the red customs lane.

Oof bet she didn't like that!

I confess as with so many “celebrities” mentioned in this thread, I have not heard of this “celebrity” so asked Doctor Google to enlighten me. From what I read she would seem to me to be firmly planted in the Z list of this group and would be more likely to fly third class rather than private jet.

Well according to the Daily Star, she managed to make in £5M in 2016 without even releasing any of her 'music'. The Mail Online has her net worth at $16M so sure it's not private jet money but I doubt you'd find her in WT+ anytime soon.

Probably the X Factor, Britains got Talent, or the Voice (she does one I think?) would of helped got her the £5M.

She did the Voice for one year I think.

Net worth is pretty meaningless in celebrity listings, as they seem to assume an average amount per gig multiplied by published gigs plus an estimate of record sales multiplied an estimated royalty. They generally don't count things like 10% to Agents and 20% to management companies (yes both apply agents from gross and management from amount after costs).

Simon Cowell doesn't use a private jet very often for transatlantic flights...

Could someone find his passport and chuck it off the plane?
