Leon Lai and gf (some HK model who I now forget) on HKG - JFK. I was in 2k and they were in the middle seats in row 2.
Very polite to fans and the crew on the flight. And he 'helped' me score a second serving of caviar. He asked for one, and got it, and they offered to me as I was stting right across the aisle.
I had absolutely no idea who they were until I asked the FA on my way out the door. I knew something was up when they boarded and people ran up from J to have their pics taken with Leon and to ask for autographs.

don't think he is considered much of a celebrity, but saw Joel Robuchon on NRT-HKG in June in F, and not surprisingly, he brought his own food..

HKG-TPE is the Cantopop Express
Several years ago I flew CX J from HKG-TPE and saw Karen Mok sitting across us, wearing dark glasses. She got on at the last minute (as typical for entertainment types).
A couple of years ago, spotted Sammo Hung before, during and after a BR flight from HKG - TPE. He actually signed some autographs for fans in the baggage claim area at Taoyuan Airport.
The Hong Kong to Taipei flights are good for spotting entertainers - because of the pop stars in one locale are often popular in the other area, and they may do recording/filming in both places.
