Do we have to limit this to DL or any airline? I don't remember the particular airline sometimes, but I know a lot of A listers I saw flew USAIR. Next to Jesse Jackson in F, BJ Thomas in F (had to ask who he was when the FA asked for his autograph), Jerry Lewis (booked the entire F section), Dan Quayle (gave my seat up to him so he could sit next to his wife), my state congressman David Price (going through RDU security), Terry Bradshaw, at ORD, Katie Kouric & husband (sitting next to my wife at BGI, waiting for her JetBlue flight to NYC), Rick Flair, too many athletes to name (not a big sports fan), Renee Zellwegger at AA counter at BNA, when she was dating Kenny Chesney. Proud to say I have never asked for any autographs or bothered any of them. I'm hoping to run into the guy wearing the DYKWIA cap! LOL

Many in the last six months: John Luke Robertson and his wife seated in Delta One from ATL - LAX on their way to their honeymoon; sat next to Brooke Burke in F from DTW - LAX (was the most hated person on the plane that day LOL); Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson from JFK - LAX; Meek Mill in Delta One from LAX - ATL.

A while ago a FA was very excited because, "We have Chris Judd flying with us today".
Hubby to me: Who?
Me: Wasn't he married to Jennifer Lopez? Some dancer before the Marco guy she married and had kids with?
Hubby: Who?
Found out later that the guy is some local football player/captain. *snore*

Perhaps we need a rule that anyone who posts a celebrity name also has to describe how they're a celebrity or post a link to somewhere explaining who they are. I've long since given up Googling for all "celebrities" posted here.
Example (true): A couple of weeks ago I was in FC with former Utah Governor, US EPA Administrator, and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt and his wife.

+1 - I think that all of those I've posted over the years on this thread are instantly recognized- though maybe not after watching Jay Walking or Water's World..... So many people are clueless about things that really matter.

King was one of my first sightings - late 90's or early 00's I was waiting in line at a UA gate at IAD. He came blowing up, ignored the people waiting in line and the person who the GA was speaking to, and demanded to know where the Red Carpet Club was. When told that it was many gates away, he cursed (it was apparent that he had been given bad information) and stormed off. Didn't win any new fans at that gate.

I've never, that I know of, seen anyone famous on a flight. I once had a local newscaster on a CAE > ATL flight about 15 years ago. She was friendly, very short, and ate Lemon Drop candies like they were going out of style.
