I think I saw Juergen Schneider (specialized on defrauding banks) on an LX flight recently.

Yeah, these Panameras are everything, but comfortable.
What a stupid choice for a limo transfer service.

In order to stay on topic: Was recently sitting twice in a S-Type in ZRH with Dr. Lothar Spät on our way to FRA. Twice, because the first delivery at the aircraft failed, late notice of a 90 minutes delay due to snow chaos.

Yes, but no shorter than Napoleon.

I hate these Panamera's. They are too small. I much prefer the S class ^

They are funny. Tall people are uncomfortable and small people (older women) can't look outside if sitting in the rear because the seat is so low :-)

Sat one row behind Harry Wijnvoord (long forgotten Dutch showmaster presenting the German verion of "The Price is Right") years ago DUS-NUE (all in Y)
Had DJ Bobo on an LX flight ZRH-NUE some days ago (he was in C I was first row Y).
Jan Ullrich was on the same flight to L.A. years ago. We had C seats, just seen him coming down the stairs of the F class section of the B744.

The good thing about beeing the pilot of a private charter jet is that you get to meet interesting people rather close up and personal: Manu Chao and Band (Yekaterinburg - Paris), Jose Carerras (BCN-ATH), George Bush sen (FRA-TXL, for the 20 year celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall), Theodorous Angelopoulos (Greek Business man), Peter Löscher (Siemens AG), etc ...

Well, to tell you the truth ... the only person that really talks to these people except for a short "Hello" and "Good Bye" is the flight attendant.

Dr. Danilo Turk - President of Slovenia, on LH 763 DEL / MUC today. In 1K, with a rotating body guard in 2K and his assistant in 2G. Boarded at the last minute, after his body guard, complete with the ear piece that wound around down his back, walked through the first class cabin to make sure everything was safe.

Akshay Kumar (famous and very cool Bollywood actor, in case most don't know) + other half/GF in 84A/C on LH756 FRA-BOM on 5 Feb - didn't disturb him (nor did anyone else) - which is probably what he wanted anyway!

I really hate that mini-F cabin on the Airbuses...he probably went maybe 2-3 paces to walk through it - not much of a walk!

Surely you didn't recognise him. If you did then ^.
