Flew BCN-LHR on Thursday with the drummer from Arctic Monkeys. He was in the Group 1 queue but sat at the back of Y, so I guess one picks up a load of TPs in a rock band!

If we wandered off-topic to discuss the backstory of every celeb encountered on BA, we’d be here for a very, very long time indeed.
Let’s try keep the thread focussed on encounters with celebrities on our travels with BA.

Not sure if it counts if you weren't there, but looks like an FTer might have been, to note the champagne, food and seat choice!

Summary of article:
Emma Thompson in 2F flying to NYC on a 4 class 777, the week after the extinction rebellion on Friday morning, while eating beef and sipping LPGS.
Non official summary:
Champagne socialism in action!

DM couldn't even get the aircraft photo right.
£18,000?! I can't see many FT paying that for First

Didier Deschamps in the CCR now. (Not sure if international football managers count as celebs) Went through security at the same time and he looked less than impressed when his bag got stopped for extra screening.

Victoria Beckham in CCR JFK.
No idea which flight home she’s taking.

Minor celeb spot. Elton John actor Taron Egerton in the BA First lounge on his way to NCE I believe.
