He was seated at the time in the bulkhead row and the flight attendant told him he had to move his bag for take-off. He also was sitting in 1D and the passenger assigned that seat told him he was in the wrong seat. Turned out Juan's assigned seat was 1A. You would think this was the first time he had ever flown. I am tempted to make a remark about the intelligence of Fox News Channel commentators now, but I won't.

George Wendt, who played Norm on the NBC sitcom “Cheers”, was in E+ on UA 863 (SFO-SYD) on February 20.

Condoleezza Rice
Condoleezza Rice was on board UA936 from SFO-IAD today.
I was standing at the gate looking to see if I was going to be upgraded. I noticed a young lady speaking with several UA ground crew about 1/2 hour before boarding. I just assumed that she was a GS member.
Later I was looking out the window and saw a town car followed by 2 big black SUV's pull up outside on the tarmac. As I watch "Numbers" and "Criminal Minds" a lot the SUV's look just like they use in the TV shows so I thought this must be a government official. I chatted with a stranger also looking out and said "I wonder who that is?". He said, "I don't know but the entourage just boarded over there", pointing to my gate.
She was seated in F while I was in E+ (no wonder my UG didn't clear
). I didn't find out it was her until I asked one of the FAs. Rice travelled with 2 security guards (big guys in blue suits with ear piece communicators) and one aide (I'm assuming the young lady was the aide--see paragraph 1).

BTW it appears he does not have status on UA, but does have *** under his name on the manifest (paid instead of upgraded business).

Was in First last night on UA 29 from JFK to LAX. There was a blonde female Celebrity in 1D. I have no idea who she was, but she had an entourage (who sat in either C or E) and the paparazzi were snapping photos left and right as she walked in behind me while I was checking in. Really wonder who it was, but have no idea at the moment.

Tom Selleck in JFK F Lounge yesterday. I assume he was on the flight to LAX as he wasn't on my flight to SFO.

Still trying to figure out who it is (I know, thanks for nothing), but someone with secret service protection is in the C17 RCC upstars meeting room right now (2/27 1:30). Not sure if they are flying because a
mini-motorcade is also waiting in front of the main terminal drop off zone.

Brooke Shields. IAD-FCO 10Feb.
Brooke Shields. IAD-FCO 10Feb. I saw her and her party waiting for luggage in Rome. At first I thought it was just somebody that looked like Brooke Shields and then I heard her talking and noticed the people with her offloading some camera equipment from the luggage carousel. Better looking in person after a red eye flight than the last couple of pictures/TV I'd seen her in.
