I much prefer the labels like "CIP handler" and "MAAS person" that some other airlines use. Much harder to think naughty thoughts about!

Eddie Jordan was on my flight back from the Maldives to Gatwick on Satuday.
He caused a nice fuss as he was last to check in at the Club desk and I think they were oversold so they downgraded some poor Spanish chap to accomodate him. Needless to say Spanish blokey wasn't chuffed and was berating "that Formula 1 man"..!!

Tom Kitchin*, edi-Lcy on Sunday. Not sure how he felt about the eventual diversion to stansted (fog) but he didn't seem too happy that there was no room in the overhead for his bag!

Tom Kitchin was on my flight once from LHR to EDI and he was in such a massive hurry to get through Edinburgh airport that he walloped my husband across the head with the big bag that he had slung across his shoulder.
Hubby never said anything because we were going to The Kitchin that night so we let him off on the basis that he was cooking our tea.
At the restaurant that night, we mentioned our story to the Maitre D' and later on, said Mr Kitchin came over and said "I hear I owe you an apology" and then spent some time chatting with us. I thought he was a very nice, albeit intense, chap.

Lots folk from the F1 circus were in various lounges last night. Including plenty from the BBCF1 team. I guess they are celebrities if you follow it.

Bumped into Jedward in terminal 5 few weeks back - or more one of them bumped into us... not sure it was so much a celebrity spot though.
Sat next to Jerry Springer in First a couple of years back LHR to ORD... that's about it for me but then I'm not flying very often.

Trinny and Susannah on BA176 last Saturday in CW.
I guess they must have a CCR card as they were in the JFK lounge just before boarding.

That said, the leader of their number did post to Twitter what appears to be a GC photo looking quite empty.
