Celebrity Sightings

[oxymoron1984]

It was kind of funny that the crew weren't able to pronounce Hugh's name right. They called him "Huge" Jackman (he is huge, but I think it was more mispronunciation than intentional).

Wife & son flew SQ 'with' Chow Yun Fat and his wife just before Christmas SIN-HKG. Wife says he's a top bloke, chatted all together at the carousel in HKG and they have a nice wee photo as souvenir.

[SQ354]

Maybe half a celebrity today! Spoke to a charming gentleman and his lovely wife at the SQ First Lounge. Mark and Monique Bradley. He is an opera singer and owns the world's most successful singing waiters act The Three Waiters. Has done 10,000 shows in 77 countries. No wonder SQ likes him

Hugh Jackman was traveling from LAX to SIN yesterday in Suites. Crew lost it when we landed as he gave one of them a peck on the cheek.

OMG!!! He could give me several pecks everywhere all over!!!

We missed you on the inaugural TG A380 HKG-BKK, MAN Flyer! In fact, SQTalker FirstToFly and I looked forlornly at your cancelled and vacant seat which TG never managed to resell

A shame I know but I had to go Down Under at very short notice and by a real freak of timings and incidents myself, my brother and mother ended up in Sydney were my sister lives all on the same weekend and that is rather unusual, so I am afraid Family > First Flights on these occassions.

Besides, it was never going to be anything like as much fun as the last special flight we did ex-HKG.

[B727]

Saw a couple of SQT 'celebs' a few weeks ago on the same trip. Bumped into Kyo+ in BarSu at the SGS one Saturday night and a few days later bumped into the one and only B727 in the lobby of the SGS

In fact, SQTalker FirstToFly and I looked forlornly at your cancelled and vacant seat which TG never managed to resell You would've enjoyed the motley cast of characters which included amongst others, the FlyerTalk ANA Ambassador and a HKG-based SQ flyer who brought his SQ teddy bears along for the flight

While on the subject of celebrities, I sat across from Turkish popstar Gökhan Türkmen on my TK 2320 last month! Fully clad in denim and showing off some ink, he declined the mezze meal whereas yours truly did not as it was lunch for me, having had nothing since arriving on SQ 392

Not a celebrity as such, but my gf had her fotie taken with Dirk Kuyt formerly of Liverpool now at Fenerbahce whilst at the TK lounge at IST. This was on the Sat before Chrimbo.

[Kyo]

Wow! What a nice chap. I'd have taken a photo with him if I were you. Or did you? Your children, perhaps?

The following weekend I bumped into the gentleman who was in 1B for both SQ747 and SQ748 in the club lounge at the Sheraton on the Park in Sydney.

'Tis indeed a small world...

Was on the same flight (SQ345 Zurich-SIN) with Michael Schumacher and Vettel on 19 Sept. They were in Suites, flying in for the F1 race that weekend. Schumacher seemed quite friendly, talking to strangers at the baggage carousel as they wished him good luck.

[SQ_fanatic]

Michelle Yeoh on SIN CDG on 18 Sep in Suites.. She was behind me at security and wanted to say hello but she seemed elusive.

[ycp81]

Jet Li was in F today on SQ807 PEK-SIN!! Only pax in F. I was seated 2 rows behind...

[MAN Flyer]

Dang, BA is THAT bad?

Yes, it really is THAT bad. The screens are so pathetic that two (admittedly rather eccentric) ladies in F asked to be moved to CW so they could watch a film, seemingly not wanting to use the Ipads on offer.

[HUGE AL]

SFO is a toss up, but I was lucky to get New F both ways last month. New F is alright - the old tatty one is baaaaad.

Yeah, looking like SFO is about 50/50.
