I sat across the aisle from the singer named Kesha. I had no idea who she was. It looked like a disheveled homeless person.

The only person I have seen on a flight that I recognized is Richard Shelby, who has been in the Senate since the ‘80s. This was probably 9-10 years ago. I think it was a Southwest flight to or from BHM/BWI.

Was there glitter on the floor?

Depends on the celebrity. Shaq would stand out I feel.

I thought I was sitting next to Bill Paxton once but it was actually Bill Pullman.

Quite a few actually...my dad worked for delta for 30 years before retirement. Flying BTR to ATL, Shaq was difficult to Not recognize in his last year at LSU. It was just him and 2 hotties a little before he was drafted.

David Justice and Halle Berry on a flight out of Atlanta back when they were married.

Sat right next to Jerry Clower on a flight to Kingsport, TN.

Mr.T, Spike Lee, Brandy, Raven Symone, several ESPN personalities Chris Fowler, Bob Ryan and John Clayton.

That's just who was on the same flight as me...list gets much longer with who I've seen in Airports. Lots of Pro Athletes (Favre, Archie, Smoltz...) some musicians (Hagar, LL Cool J, Dee Snider...)

Halle Berry would def be the most famous, but that was mid 90s before she was super A-list. I actually recognized David Justice first living in Atlanta at the time.

Toni Kukoc
Richard Jenkins
Mike Ditka
Pedro Martinez

Recognized all of them, since I’m bringing them up.

Kukoc was in front of me and actually asked me if he could recline his seat. Man you’re 7 feet tall, it’s coach, go ahead.

Some band members were on a flight that I didn’t recognize. 3 different teen girls went up and asked for pics/autographs. Still no idea who they were. Thought about asking a flight attendant but they realized I didn’t really care

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.

Sat next to Jesse on a flight in 2020 on the way back to New Orleans. This was before the natty. I asked him point blank his thoughts and he was candid in his positivity for the tigers. Was a nice dialogue.

Flew out of O’Hare on Air Jamaica for MoBay. Checking in, notice the guy next to us with his daughters and give him the head nod. Now me and the Mrs. aren’t the 1st class Destroya type we’re just your run of the mill OT riff-raff, but if you’ve ever flown Air Jamaica you can grab a hell of an upgrade at the counter if 1st class isn’t booked full. So I spend the next 2 hours BSing and drinking champagne with Andrew Gulotta(Mr. Low Blow), super nice guy. Ironically enough, a couple nights later I ended up having a few drinks and chatting up Lennox Lewis at an awesome hideaway in Negril.

Sat across from Tara Reid on a flight. Asked a guy if that was bunny Lebowski. Turned out they were on the flight together and told her. She laughed and gave me a thumbs up. CSB

I have no earthly idea who Andrew Gulotta is but a quick Google search returns this.

While not a flight my family and I shared an elevator with Teddy Bridgewater+woman in the Times Square Hilton about 5 years ago. My kids are big football fans and he looked over to me with a look of acknowledgement over not making it a thing. We checked in right after him and we ended up getting a room far better than what we paid for. I've been a fan of his ever since. There are a ton of guys in the league just like him but it's the few dozen idiots who always overshadow them.

Borded a flight in LA behind John Travolta and Kelly Preston heading to Brisbane Australia. He was shorter than he looks on TV and she was just as HOT.

Never recognized anyone else on other flights.
