If we're allowed to steal other people's experiences, my colleague shared a flight with Jimmy Carr, coming home from Zurich yesterday. He was sitting in the cheap seats with a Pret sandwich - the man knows the better value option than J.

Clearly subscribes to the ‘look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves’ approach to finances. ;)

Does Bernie Taupin count? It was a couple years ago.
He wasn't in Y. :p

Definitely yes he does count, though he has a much lower profile, he is still Elton's songwriting buddy after all these decades. In some ways I would be more excited to see him than Elton (again).

Anna Wintour in the CCR this morning looking wonderfully elegant.

She's en route to Rome a few rows ahead of me.

Seems very friendly, genuinely.

CCR, on the way to Rome, does that mean she must be GGL (or Premier)?

Or a guest of a Premier or GGL. However I strongly suspect she had access in her own right.

Wouldn’t be surprised if she was a Prem, but could also have flown in from JFK in F.

For that, I would bend the knee. For Maisie WIlliams, I would bend both knees even though I would then need a crane to get back up.

I’d actually be surprised if she wasn’t Prem, or at least GGLfL. I’m pretty sure she was a regular on Concorde, although perhaps not as often as Maurice Saatchi.

I would have thought Vogue put a lot of LHR-JFK business through BA over the years. I was sat beside at least one impromptu meeting of sub-editors in the old JFK CCR in the past.

She was escorted to the plane by one of the SS members I know, so I'll ask next time I see her.
