From these forums it seems that a lot of people with name recognition fly on Delta.
A lot of politicians, actors, and more. Seems to be routine with the major carriers.
In the past a lot of people would have been found on private jets however that number seems to have been diminished as of late.

i guess DL must have a good handle of celebs which attracts their biz. Based on what i have seen at JFK/LAX, DL employees usher the Celebs/VIPs thru security, to the skyclub & on to the plane. In return, celebs give DL free publicity thru social media and sometimes free in-flight entertainment
. e.g Kanye West's rants/freestyle on MSP-JFK flt, Rapper B.o.B performed his chart topping "Airplane" song on ATL-LAX, countless celebs that reveal their excitement/flight info to twitter/FB fans when flying DL, etcI would assume AA transports more celebs than any US airline.

I got to see Michelle "Crazy Eyes" Bachman on my DCA-MSP leg today. I only realized it was her because 4 different members of her staff came up to her seat to drop things off or pick things up. They were all flying coach and she was the only one in F.

I'm surprised that she still has a staff... didn't her campaign staff punch out en masse?

^ When you consistently buy paid F loyalty doesn't really matter - schedule is likely the determining factor.

Sat next to Wink Martindale from SFO-ORD in FC on UA Friday. He desperately wanted me to recognize him and kept talking about his agent in Korea...LOL. I never did and he looked visibly frustrated.

How awful. I would ask for a refund if some jerkoff rapper tried to film a music video or perform one of his 'songs' during a flight and the airline was complicit. The last thing I want is to be subjected to that noise at 35k feet. I'd rather hear a nursery full of crying children.

Kim Kardashian in 3A on flight from LAX to MSP---just arrived 30 minutes ago.
Sure the gossip columns will be all over it---did she come to return the ring to Kris? Did she come to get back together? Perhaps to talk to his parents....who knows, but what we do know is that the media will be all over it.
