Carnie Phillips and Wendy Phillips as well as their band on DL 1755 ATL-LAX today. Interestingly, they were way in the back of the plane not in F. Guess Wilson Phillips isn't doing as well as they once did!

Once you hit the convention circuit your travel contracts likely aren't what they used to be.

Celebrity Sightings on DL Flights

Erik Estrada on ATL-LAX 2355 last Wed. He's doing a movie in ATL, but was heading to LA to shoot a commercial really quickly.

Also, Richie Sambora coming from SLC to LAX last night.

They don't have the ego to fly FC or it was a change for them and this was the only way to get to LA..

i sat next to Matthew Fox on a flight from Atlanta to LAX a few years ago. Had no idea who he was until he told me to think about Party of 5.

Flying first class indicates a certain ego now?

Some Celebrities wont fly unless they are in FC, so what do you call that. This thread is about Celebrities, right?

You suggested earlier that Wilson Phillips didn't "have the ego to fly FC," implying that doing so would require a heightened sense of self-importance, or something. I would call an insistence on first class a minimum expectation of comfort that has little to do with self perception.

+1. Although in this case I imagine W-P and their band were flying in J because at this stage of their career they are probably paying their own travel expenses.

Heh. I wonder why he wouldn't have mentioned his best-known role (as a plane-crash survivor on the show "Lost"! )
