I once saw Rich Little on a flight from Reno to Las Vegas. Nice guy.

Wow, I'm sure glad you don't fly Southwest! Sitting next to someone who thinks they are better than life itself sure can get irritating.


I saw Nicole Richie in LAX when I was heading back home. I can't remember where she was going, but I think it might have been LAS. I guess she is saving money for her drug problem. Which is actually a sad thing.

I sat next to Rex Huddler of the CA Angels once. Right before he had a little trouble with some type of substance. He was a nice guy. Very open to fans, and talking about baseball.

Maybe she was going to see her ex-friend Paris who has Southwest in her address book: http://www.telegravin.nl/telegravin%20foto8.htm

In this months "LUV Lines" employee magazine there are photos of employees with Paula Abdul, Lars Ulrich (Matellica Drummer), John Stamos & William Hung.

A couple months ago I sat right behind Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims.

My dad saw Nolan Ryan all the time at HOU when he worked for Southwest.

Celebrity sightings on Southwest Airlines

Curious to what celebrities fly Southwest Airlines. I saw Bill Walton (the former basketball player) on my flight and he was very lucky to get the bulkhead.

A few weekends ago, my wife and I saw Gianni Russo. He pre-boarded at LAX and was continuing on to Reno. He sat at the very front eating trail mix and was wearing black loafers with no socks (had an ugly tattoo on his front, left foot). Basically, he was wearing this outfit. We were through passengers when he boarded, but one of the other passengers said the he was receiving special treatment at the gate. We spent the whole flight trying to figure out who he was (we're young-uns and don't know some of the older celebrities). My wife happened to see him on tv later that week. Mystery solved!

Last summer we saw Jesse Jackson checking in with the SW skycap. We were checking in at the same time and he was very polite to us. He posed for a picture with my daughter. This was at Logan Airport. As far as i could see he only had family with him. He did have an earpiece on and something in his hand. It could of been something as simple as a cell phone but it didn't quite look like that. I wonder where his body gaurd was?

Not every high profile person has a bodyguard. Former DHS Secretary Tom Ridge was on my UA flight last week from IAD-PHX. He was rolling solo.

SWA doesn't really fly out of Boston. The closest you'll get is an ATA codeshare to Boston, but those employees would be ATA employees, not SWA employees.
