re: How many would recognize a celebrity on their flight?

2005 or so I barely missed my crazy early flight and caught a later one. While the later flight was boarding I was on the phone with one of our company admin's who was helping me. As I was on the phone, I was walking around and another guy was doing almost the same thing. I recognized him pretty quickly as Chad Lowe but didn't make a deal of it. Only gave him a head nod. Well it's finally time for me and Chad to board the plane and one of the workers comes running down the bridge and tells me they upgraded me to first class. I was quite confused but happy about it. I later realized she thought I was travelling with him.
