This thread is a continuation of the ever popular Celebs on BA thread.

So which famous face did you encounter on BA today?

TravellerFrequently Jan 2, 2018 12:00 am

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
 
Flew in ET to NCE according to the report below.

Appears they may have benefitted from a special TS application....
No reports regarding any Buy on Board purchases.

picking up another stewardess for his collection?

Any sign of the Doctor Who cast flying out to Cape Town today? They're apparently filming there. Bradley Walsh was spotted at the airport. I assume it was BA, as the only other airline that flies from London to Cape Town is Thomas Cook.

I thought Russel Brand was too left wing to be seen in the CCR? Or is he a model champagne socialist. This tweet certainly comes to mind!https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...208a47a805.png

And he gets the train to a place I go. Only seen him getting off onto the platform and heading to the security cars with his companions. Taller than I expected. I won't mention the station obviously. :-)

I thought South African Airlines still flew to Cape Town from LHR.

No, SAA pulled out of that route 2012 due to been in dire financial straights. Of course you can fly SAA to CPT via JNB

Howard Long Jan 6, 2018 11:32 pm

Jodie Kidd, BA2154 BGI-LGW 6/7 Jan. I'm not on the flight, I'm the bloke in the grubby raincoat outside arrivals at Costas waiting for the OH to clear immigration.

Know who she is although might not have spotted her.
Would have offered to guest her into the CCR assuming she would be nice enough to pose for a picture (this time around).

Well I missed her first time round, I was about to sit next to her but opted for a window seat (school boy error).

She was dressed down and her hair up and I didn't initially recognise her. It was only when I overheard her voice in discussion with her friend that I realised.

I didn't want to interrupt her private time, in another setting I might have asked for a picture.

I know I am kind of breaking the 2018 rules here but here goes:

Rio Ferdinand in GF 26th Dec 2017 (Very tall !)

Amanda Holden at GVA BA Checkin desks 2nd Jan 2018. I think she might be stalking me as she was also on my flight RAK - LON a couple of years ago :)

AlisonB84 Jan 17, 2018 6:19 am

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Paloma Faith LHR - GVA 16/1/18. And there was a member of GVA staff waiting as we disembarked with a big sign with her name on, just in case we hadn’t noticed!

rossmacd Jan 17, 2018 8:57 am

Dara Ó Briain is LHR T5 GF today lunchtime, sporting a don't look at me hat.

GeeMac Jan 18, 2018 3:26 am

Damon Hill (F1 world champion 1996) in the Flounge right now.

Dicksbits Jan 18, 2018 8:19 am

I wouldn’t call him famous, but a once fairly prominent politician in the UK who’s now in the Lords, and formerly Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats:
Lord Bruce of Bennachie -Malcolm Bruce - sitting in F lounge at LHR atm with a young lady (family member it looks like).

I’m not sure - but I think CE as we were sitting in 1D/1F, Mr AB84 spotted her rather than me, when she queued for the toilet.

Virazuno Jan 19, 2018 12:53 pm

Melanie Phillips (journalist) on AMS-LHR in CE a couple of weeks ago. Huge tantrum on boarding about not getting a window seat and row 1 ("I always get a window seat"). Crew shrugged and carried on.

Michael McIntyre in the slow lounge about an hour ago, had to really tap into my specs ops training to take this pic without being seen and looking like a total fan boy. The staff were comeplty oblivious and interestingly along with everyone else in the lounge. Anyway he seems to have taken the BA6414 to Johannesburg.

"comedian" . He may be the least funny man ever to take the stage.

But about the most commercially successful, didn't he make over £20m from one tour alone?

Commercial success cannot be confused with talent, the best example of which must be Cheryl Cole, or whatever her current last name is.

Never sure why people on here think it is a badge of achievement to be so ignorantly ill-informed about a well-known member of society.
You don't know who he is? Congratulations, you'd be a thrilling contestant on Universally Challenged.

Also it's "nor do I".... you wouldn't say "me have no idea who he is". Or maybe you would.
I don't care, I can't take it anymore.

Least funny? Ever?
At least we now know to put this post in the category of "so dense that light bends around it".

Yes, more reasons why FT is such a joyful read nowadays...
