Given your FT handle "mumbaidan", you probably know Ashwaria Rai and Abhisekh Bachan (sorry if I did not spell their names correctly), I think Mr. and Mrs. Bollywood (!!). They arrived in FCT yesterday. She looked as good as I had seen her in a couple of her movies..They were there for a couple hours. I asked a couple of the staff if they knew who there were, they did not except to say that they figured that they are some sort VIPs...

Loki wasn´t joining him, but I guess his daughter and two bodyguards. At the gate he was joined by two very other important guys and some Bundespolizisten.
I really thought a guy like him would be driven to the plane and then board as the last passenger. And not wait like the reast of us and then board first, so that everybody can see him and ask anything.

Leader of German party "Die Linke", Klaus Ernst, on LH 291 STR-TXL on Oct 5 2010 in Business Class, seat 2C.
OT: After landing I ran into former "Modern Talking" crooner Thomas Anders at TXL landside who just arrived at the other LH gate; "Tagesthemen" news anchor Tom Buhrow and the German National Soccer Team at Grand Hyatt Berlin.

And why not...
Unfortunately domestic C on LH is not nearly luxurious enough to corrupt those guys for good.

Wish I'd seen this thread earlier.
In 2005/2006, I...
...sat next to Dion Friedland (founder of Dion's stores in S. Africa, former owner of Cap Juluca resort (he was owner at the time), now owner of Magnum hedge fund and a bodybuilder). I was in 83A (which is MY seat), he in 83C.
...also sat next to Patrick Enthoven (former chairman of Hollard insurance in S. Africa; he was chairman and CEO at the time), I in 83A (which is MY seat) and he in 83C.
In only know who these people were because they chatted me up and they told me.
