Nah, DSK would only fly AF! There, F pax grouping an FA is an accepted standard.

Back to the main subject:
I had a dubious pleasure of flying MIA-FRA last weekend with 3 kids from the Saudi royal family with some lady with them (not sure but I would guess she was their nanny/caretaker). Bunch of rich, spoiled brats, if you ask me. They were giving FAs and other F passengers a hard time - especially the youngest girl.

C'mon, give the kids a break! They had to put up with flying commercial AND other people in the cabin.

They were probably also disappointed that they don't have Rimowa kits on the A380.

Mayrhuber does drive a Skoda. He refused all other cars and sticks to the Skoda as his official company car. He says he does not need a big car, and it saves money for the company.

Otto Schily on LH 2884 TXL-CGN yesterday. He was in 2F while his companion/assistent or whoever it was had to take a seat behind the curtain

Bit late on this and not on the plane but H. P. Baxxter in the SAS lounge in EWR. I didn't even realize till someone else pointed him out. I think he left around time for the DUS flight, we left later for the MUC flight.

British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, with his wife, couple of minders, assistant and small red briefcase [in overhead bin ] on FRA-LHR couple of weeks ago.

First on board, first off board. Good thing was that flight left and arrived on time.

The king of Sweden was sitting a few rows in front of me from FRA-STO with his entourage around 2 years ago, 2 weeks later on the same route, Princess Victoria comes onboard 2 rows in front of me. Quite a coincidence. I think the Swedish royal family, normally travels in LH First Class

For some people a bus ride is apparently a highlight of their FRA experience.

And you could have spotted the queen of Spain on Ryanair:

(To keep a semblance of on-topicality, I'm sure Dona Sofia, too, would have preferred LH first-class).
