My mom and sisters sat across from Ja Rule on their LAX-EWR flight last August.

Mike Eruzione (1980 US Olympic Hockey Team Captain/Lit the torch at opening ceremonies in SLC) on a BOS-EWR flight Sept 18, 2001. There were 7 people on my flight. He was the only person flying in coach. I used my Plat status to get him bumped to 1st. Could you believe he was flying coach?

I think it infuriated them that a woman was "in charge", and this is one time in 20 years that I FLAUNTED it.

They have the best and most frequent LAX-NYC(JFK and EWR) nonstop service. Mostly 767 widebodies, some with the sleeper seats. All with the comfy international business class. They also have a big presence in LA for hops to Hawaii, so the brand is better known there than CO.

Gordo twice (both times IAH-LAX in BF)
Gordo multiple times in IAH PC - just hanging out
Ted Kennedy (EWR-BOS) - interestingly, he was in coach

Now that I think about it, I guess I haven't really seen too many celebs on planes.....

From FLL-EWR Whitney Houston and her mother sat right behind me and my son in FC. Whitney is much more beautiful in person than on TV or movies.

Frpm FLL-EWR Nikki Taylor sat across from me and my daughter in FC. Another very beautiful lady.

i saw the venerable knipsy (sp?) russell in coach (albeit exit row which is just as good as first class in most cases).

Ken Lay SFO-IAH (I was 2A, he was 2B)

Sarah Jessica Parker JAX-IAH (I was 2B, she was 3B)

Some young actress that I could never figure out who she was. She was flying NRT-GUM-HNL-IAH-JFK a day earlier than her NRT-EWR nonstop to go home early for a date. She was 1A, I was 1B on the HNL-IAH segment.
