VS has its SS (special services) staff at most airports and they will meet VIPs or CIPs at the aircraft door to escort them through the airport and fast track immigration at US airports for example. So, true celebs or commercially important customers will not queue with the majority.

I think minor celeb is overstating it somewhat, occasional presenter on T4 IIRC.

I saw a lot of trailers for this while I was flicking through MTV (...Jersey Shore) and thought it was pretty surprising she landed such a gig on American MTV. It was dire though, not surprised it collapsed

I have to admit I'm quite oblivious to celebrities. I once traveled with an entire football team and was only aware of it once told by an excited fellow passenger. I probably should've guessed by the chavvy haircuts sported. Can't even remember what team it was ...

She's one of the brat pack off T4, some of the least talented people to ever be rammed down our throats. With the exception of Simon Amstell (who made Britney break down in an interview) they are all awful. I'm slightly fashion obsessed so I have a pretty broad celebrity knowledge. I don't find Chung fashionable, witty or even attractive so the show was off to a bad start. Then she had Kelly Osbourne as a guest.... I can't even complete that sentence

Just flown UC back from JFK and had Tyra Banks sitting two seats away. Knew someone famous was coming when the cabin crew were carrying bags of shopping for someone.
also on the way out to LA last year there was Christopher Ecclestone in PE.

Stefanie Powers

I flew UC with Stefanie Powers last December from LAX-LHR then LHR to NBO (Nairobi). She was charming. She lives on the slopes of Mount Kenya.

William Fitchner was on last Wed flight LHR-LAX. He played Alex Mahone the FBI agent on Prison Break. Celebs seldom look exactly the same as on TV but he did. As far as I know he didn't do away with anyone on the flight but I kept my eye on him all the same.
