About a year ago I was sitting a couple of rows behind Peter Schmeichel, from CPH-EDI. Does he count as a celebrity, I don't know?
It was one of these small, cramped planes (sorry, I'm not really an expert on the makes and models!) which have a row of only one seat down one side, and two seats the other side.. so for someone like him it was a very tight squeeze, especially when he stood up.

Didn't know this tread existed... Here is my latest sighting.
04/08-09: Flying Y on SK 943 CPH-ORD, but was upped to C at gate
Siiting in 3 A, I noteiced Jan Magnusson, Danish racecar driver in 2D (I think it was 2 D)
Seemed very friendly, didn't mind people asking him about career and future in race car driving.

A couple of sightings
A few datapoints to keep the thread alive:
- May 1, 2006 (the day after Swedish Queen Silvia's birthday festivities in Stockholm): The Norwegian crown prince couple on ARN-OSL. They and their entourage (a couple of aides and a few bodyguards looking bored) had the first ~5 rows on a 737 and boarded from the stairs connected to the gate
- July 2008: Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt and his girlfriend on FRA-ARN (apparently connecting from somewhere else). Quite a few passengers approached Persbrandt and asked for autographs and photos, making the situation more and more embarrassing...
- April 2009: Former Swedish prime minister Göran Persson on CPH-ARN in one of these painful departures with a low pitch, fully loaded 737s. He was in 2C and funny enough the former Swedish minister of defence (and political opponent to Persson) Mikael Odenberg sat in 1C. Persson looked modestly happy when Odenberg reclined his seat. I leave to others to interpret the symbolism of the situation
