Bernhard Langer on the 1439 EDI-LHR on 30 July, in CE.

I think Justin Rose was on the 115 LHR-JFK on the same day, on the basis he was in front of us in the JFK immigration queue.

And to complete the golfing trio, Fred Couples was at EDI airport, but not sure where or who he was flying with!

I saw quite a few golfers on Monday evening at EDI - but have no idea who any of them actually are.

It was the Senior Open at St Andrews at the weekend, which explained two of my spots.

So I completely failedto notice, but my wife observed some famous faces sharing row 10 of CW on BA2158 from St Lucia on 31/7. Pippa Middleton, husband and parents.

Tired old 777s have no respect for anyone, so they also joined us in the no IFE club.

edit: Pippa, not Kate!

They've been in Mustique, apparently, but I am quite surprised the future king is allowed to fly CW on a knackered old 777.

I'm guessing there's a push for them not to be seen to be flying privately especially on non-State business for public relations reasons. The optics of the Royals flying on a non-British carrier is also terrible and they are quite limited in terms of choices to the Caribbean, ergo they have to be on a knackered BA 777 (or possibly VS but BA says 'British' on the side). Doesn't explain why Catherine and William aren't in F though.
