Yesterday, at IAD, I was walking around while waiting for the next UX flight in A after missing a connection.
Noticed lots of agents and security at the Lufthansa gate before the plane arrived. Walking by again, noticed the plane pull up - agents went down jetway and emerged with the Dalai Lama. Definitely the best sighting in my travel experiences. I found it interesting that there was no car on the tarmac for him. He was of course on the other side of the glass to head down to CBP.

Jim Taylor in the PHX United Lounge on 2/2. He looked to be in great shape for his age...I bet he could have scored from the 1 yard line.

UA233 LAX-JFK

Nick Cannon in 7F
I was in 5E and he was one of the last to board. I was awake the entire flight and noticed he didn't eat or use the lav at all. Bravo.

Any reason why all these sightings seem to be domestic?

Who in their right mind would fly UA internationally if they were paying for it?!
My celebrity clients all (and strangely, I do mean all) prefer Virgin/BA when going to Europe and Cathay/Singapore when going to Asia.
