+1. I used to work for an ex-Governor. He flew in private jets when a donor/supporter offered, at zero expense to himself.

Not too sure I get your point.... When Sec of state travels in the 757 that is his office. But when I see an Ex governor getting into a PVT, I'm not assuming that is his office, he might conduct business while on the jet. The same can be said with Tom Cruise..

Just got off DL2902 (JFK-BOS) with Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. She does not travel light! Had at least eight staffers, several bodyguards, and was met gateside by a Massachusetts State Police caravan.

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (LDS Church) was pointed out to me today at SLC T1. Didn't catch which airline he was on though, since he and his wife zipped down the PreCheck lane.

I know who Neil L. Andersen is (and GW McLintock even spelled his surname properly with an 'e', good job), and I've heard of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, after living in Ghana for a couple years and having Liberian friends.

Andre 3000
I was recently in TPA waiting for my flight to ATL and Andre 3000 walked out of the gate door. He stood at the gate for a few minutes with his driver (not sure how the driver got to meet him at the gate). He was noticed by a few other people and very congenial. Had a few people with him but no big entourage.

I must preface that I am not a wrestling fan. But I flew yesterday JAN-ATL and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DeBiase was on the flight.
Sitting next to him in the terminal, some 10 year old kid come over and said hello and asked for a picture. Very nice guy.
I think he was surprised to be recognized by someone so young.

5/29 DL476 LAX-JFK:
Harry Hamlin (LA Law) and wife Lisa Rinna (Days of Our Lives) were in BE. My wife and I were in the two center seats row 2 and they were in singles starboard side, 2 and 3.
Nice looking couple, and he was very gracious when approached by a fan while deboarding.

There was an olympic gold medalist from snowboarding on my SLC-ATL flight DL2218 this morning. I didn't see him (since I don't know who he is) but the FA was telling me about him. He was sitting in F.
