In my experience no one will stop you from politely approaching a celebrity and asking for a selfie, especially politicians. I once flew with Ms Ti-Hi in the row in front of me in SAS C, you wouldn't have noticed a thing. Except of course for the gentleman in a suit sitting close by upright all night and not drinking.

Slightly OT: No selfies with politicians, please!
A selfie with a celebrity would be and can be fine.
But as a citizen I simply don't want to have a selfie with one of my employees äh...politicians. IMHO they are paid by taxpayer's money and civil servants, not celebrities.
But a selfie with Paula Radcliffe (http://new.paularadcliffe.com/wp-con...2013/11/91.jpg) would be fine! I always admire athletes with the ability to run such a large distance and enjoy running in this great way.
She transports the fascination of track and field.....

Michael Mittermeier just now in the SEN lounge in DUS. He seems to be equally frustrated not to find an empty seat...

You can spend years prospecting around the comments sections of articles in online newspapers and then suddenly, one day, you find a Kohinoor diamond of exquisite brilliance.

Wladimir Klitchko was among the J pax today on LH7 HAM-FRA. Apparently they loaded him last and nobody knew until disembarking

HRH Princess Chulabhorn of Thailand was on the same LX flight with me to BKK, I didn't sit in F. I only know when I took a boarding pass from seat 1A (I like to collect boarding pass, and this one is in its full size). Her printed name is MAHIDOL/CHULABHORNHR

I was in F on TG with the Thai crown princess before (she in 1A, me 2A) so why would LX not allow non-Thais? (Not saying they didn't book all 8 seats)
