With so many people traveling on DDF all the time and a good % of them traveling in premium cabins, I wonder who and where people here have run into.

I myself haven't run into too many people yet.

Sebastian Kehl (big time German soccer player) LGA-PBI / Centurion Lounge
Maria Sharapova (Tennis player) JFK-TLV / AC lounge

Are these what you were flying?

Okay, who's gonna be the first kiss-up to write that he met Dan somewhere?

I've met a few celebrities. ON a flight to LAX from JFK a few years ago I met Wilmer Valderama from That 70's Show. have a picture somewhere, gotta look for it

On my flight from LAX to JFK after first days of Sukkos Kevin James was in First, I was in Business. No picture bc it was a redeye

On my most recent flight on BA to LHR from JFK (thanks Dan for the deal!!) Emily Blunt and John Krasinski (The Office) and their daughter were on my flight sitting next to us in Business on the Upper Deck. Very nice normal family.

When I was younger Kareem Abdul Jabar was flying first class to Maui on my flight, but he was a real jerk.

Met Benny Friedman at DansDeals Seminar in Jerusalem.
Total jerk, refused to sing for us and wouldn't shut up about hidden cities.

On my United flight TLV-EWR in J had Rabbi and Mrs. Berel Wein two seats behind me, thats gotta count for something....

Seth Meyers on JFK-LAX redeye on DL. He was in J, I was in Y.

And Rachel McAdams after landing in EWR--she pulled up in a Uber at arrivals; she was through baggage claim to arrivals. Her sunglasses were on when it was cloudy so that must have made her confused
