Have you ever seen any celebs on board?!

Have seen many Z listers and one England footballer on the MCO route and Keira knightly in the LHR CH.

While waiting for a massage at LGW in the old CH the person sat next to me waiting for a full body massage was Simon le Bon from Durna Duran (he was rather gorgeous) The funny thing was we could both hear the girls arguing who got me and who had him as their client......as you can guess I wasn't the popular choice ):

As an ex paparazzi in my past life though I have seen enough celebs and they have seen enough of me :w

Sunshine 8D

Nicky who ??!!
celebs don't go to Gatwick - sorry.
to reaffirm that they are still celebs).

Nicky Chapman is a TV presenter, ex music agency owner and was one of the original judges on Pop Idol/Popstars alongside Nasty Nigel/Cowell/Pete Waterman etc. Not a Zeleb who is only famous for being famous, but not an A lister either.

Was that a tongue in cheek comment about Gatwick or a sweeping generalisation

SRB LHR to LAX. He took the time to say hello to all the passengers on board and collected his own bags at baggage reclaim.
Richard E Grant ( Barbados ) and Jedward ( Orlando ) at LGW Clubhouse.

you decide !

Oh Lordy, to numerous to mention.

Had fun with Joan Collins on the way to LA once, smelled Colin Farrell's feet, chit chatted with Matt Damon (possibly the most perfect man in the world!), covered my nose next to a dour Bob Geldof, accidentally sat in Eddie Izzard's seat, didn't talk with a non-descript Steve Coogan, avoided any eye contact with Katie Price, who was not on the same flight as Victoria Beckham once, was surprised that Mike Tyson could read (a newspaper), and a legion more ...

two memebers of coldplay were in uc on jan 1st flying back from las vegas.

Patrick Stewart from ANU once, that's it, I don't come across as many celebs as most it seems. Guess I need to start flying to LAX.

April 2008 Mumbai to Heathrow, Upper class saw David Furnish ( Elton's partner ) He even gave up his seat so a couple could sit together.
Remember well as wife was injured on this flight.

All I can muster...

Gabrielle on a flight back from ANU after which I stood next to Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze at the airport, the baggage carousel..

Mark Gatiss on a flight back from NYC, just after The League of Gentlemen had started to appear on TV.

The first time I ever flew VS I was nearly knocked down by Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit exiting the CH.

And a very long shot....Mickey Dolenz in LAX meeting his daughter who'd been sat in front of me on the flight...

I have either been very lucky (which is my view) or unlucky but I have never seen any celebs on any of my VS flights or in the CH.

That said I'm not that a frequent a flyer.

But I am asking myself who some of the people mentioned are ?| ?| ?|

Hugh Laurie

Lulu

Both on LAX route, both quiet and undemanding of the crew. And no, nobody bothered them or asked for autographs. Somehow not the British thing to do

I've seen a few 'celebs' in my short 25 years, but the Virgin specific ones are:

Jonathan Ross (and family), in the LHR Clubhouse waiting for the VS7 to LAX.

Marco Pierre White, JFK Clubhouse.

Kris Marshall, at JFK waiting for VS4.

Ruby wax wanted my seat up in the nose in march going to barbados and asked the cc to ask if i would move, they never asked me but later sitting at the bar the cc told me they wouldnt ask on behalf of her, i would have said no anyway!
She was sat at the last seat next to bar.

cheers

Was on a flight (my very first with VS) with Griff Rees Jones.

Also, as per my TR, was in the adjacent suite to David Hasselhoff LHR-LAX.

Ken Hom on a flight to JFK

Colin Firth back in Feb 09 was on my flight to LAX, saw him waiting in line at security about 10 people ahead of me.

Clubhouse - then Chancellor Alistair Darling

Tony Shalhoub
Rory Underwood
Jonty Rhodes

Rory's brother Tony who also played for England is a Virgin pilot. Flew me a few years ago.

I've seen a couple of Celebs, and like most, it always seems to be on the LAX - LHR flight.

Billy Conolly and Pamela Stevenson, had a quick chat with Billy whilst collecting the luggage at LHR, nice bloke and a lot smaller than I expected.

Keith Allen (Lily's Dad). He was infront of us at the PE check-in in LAX, he got upgraded to Upper, we didn't

US comic Rich Hall, he was sat in the center row of 4 seats just across from me in Y, seemed a decent down to earth type.

Not on a flight, but at LAX we saw Prince being escorted through the airport by his bouncers. It was quite a comical sight, there was about 10 of them all well over 6ft tall and probably weighing 18 to 20 stone plus, surrounding this 4ft something midget

Also seen a couple of politicians on a couple of flights I've done to Washington DC, but their names escape me now.

Nah! ):

A cetain radio 1 DJ (of the am variety) was in the bed three down from me on a flight to JFK a couple of years back.

A second radio 1 dj... of the drive time variety was in the clubhouse that morning as well.
