Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen in F (1C/D), LGA-CLT. They even waited at the gate like regular plebs! Celebs are people too.

Evidently, according to my seatmate he lives in the Palm Beach area and commutes to work. I would not have noticed but the seatmate asked the FA is he was on board. She didn't even know he was on board.
We did get thanked for flying Delta more often than normal.
I certainly would NOT be annoyed if I saw EB in FC and I was #1 on the upgrade list, particularly on such a short flight! If I saw EB sitting in C+, and I was in FC, I would immediately go to him and offer to swap seats. You never know what might happen doing that! Nothing to lose, and perhaps score some huge points!

I travel to Virginia Ave. quite often. He actually owes me some points.

How far we have fallen. Gerald Grinstein and Jim Whitehurst would not fly in first class.

Today, DL 1367, GRR -ATL. Jim Craig (1980 Olympic hockey team goalie). Really nice guy. He was actually watching Miracle on Ice during part of the flight. When I asked him if he perhaps had played a bit of hockey himself, he had the biggest grin. He was nice enough to stop for a pic with me when we got off the plane.

I saw Scott Pruit at the T Concourse Sky Club in Atlanta - Poor guy can't fly private jets at our expense anymore...

UFC legend “Iceman” Chuck Liddell. He had the Mohawk haircut and everything. *I just realized I might have been the only one excited to see Chuck Liddell

Bonus points for using the phrase “fantastic voyage” within earshot of Coolio...

I wanted to ask for a photo when we got off so much but he and his guys seems hurried so I didn't want to bother. Oh well.

I saw this post and thought briefly that my account was hacked. Apparently I now have a doppelgänger on FT.

Maybe. Do you also like "Iceman" Chuck Liddell?
