This is the thread to use for posting your sightings of celebrities/notable/newsworthy public figures while travelling. Here are a few ground rules:
Here are links to older threads:

- The sighting must occur either on a United flight (or related regional/express carriers) or at a UA terminal.
- Comments about individuals sighted by others should be kept to a minumim to keep the thread reasonably easy to follow during the year.

Congressman Eric Cantor (VA) seated in 4A on #1266 DEN-FLL today. Traveling with a couple of staffers. By the time they got to him for his lunch order, only choice left was the shrimp salad.

Christine Lagarde IMF MD
Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, flying back from YUL to IAD on 6/10 in Y 
(well, the plane only had Y!) along with her partner Xavier Giocanti and an entourage of several men in suits.
I was really surprised to see that the #5 on Forbes' list of most powerful women in the world would fly commercial at all, especially for such a short flight!

I flew next to Larry Summers last year -- the former Harvard President, head of Obama's economic team, and was the leading candidate to replace Ben Bernanke at the FED. The backlash against him and for Yellen sealed his fate. He was flying IAD to SFO as he sits on squares board and was heading to a meeting.

Perhaps the Secret Service detail prefers the mid plane entry for boarding and deplaning of the 757. Its layout woudl simplify security / minimize traffic past his seat.
