Celebrity Sightings on SAS

Here are the first I remember:

Angelina Jolie EWR-CPH
Princess Martha and that weasel Ari Behn EWR-ARN
Norwegian King and Queen OSL-EWR
Norwegian Queen, when she was going to the Danish Royal Wedding last year OSL-CPH. I had reserved 1D on the A321, on my way to connect to 943 and was demoted to row 6. Her gang took up 5 rows.
Jan Petersen (Norwegian minister) on SK OSL-CPH, then TG to BKK in C (MD11 ). He snored like a hog.
Thomas Øye, Norwegian financial acrobat, OSL-FRA, sat next to him, he was going to Dubai. Had a long conversation with him. Interesting guy.
Morten Harket, OSL-CPH
Petter Solberg, OSL-TOS
Janne Carlzon, OSL-ARN

Göran Persson, prime minister of Sweden, he had the whole first row MMX-ARN.

Robert Wells, artist, came off my plane from ARN in MMX.

Interesting to see this topic on the SAS board as well...

As far as I remember:
*Peter Harrysson (TV personality) at T5 ARN
*Christine Kaspersen and Hans Fahlen (Swedish TV personalities, now married) at T5 ARN
*The Swedish swimming team (Lars Frölander, Therese Alshammar, Anna-Karin Kammerling etc) returning from the championship in Barcelona. CPH-ARN
They were met by a huge crowd of people in the arrivals hall at ARN.

I know I've seen a few more famous faces, but none that comes into my mind right now.

If we can add trains as well I've seen the actor Johannes Brost on a train from Hallsberg to Stockholm.
We were the only ones in the first class carriage and he came and asked me where the train was going (as if it wasn't obvious...).

Jörgen Jonsson KSD-ARN
Plus, some other Tre Kronor teammates in T4.

I also saw Anja Persson in a Timberland outlet store up in the Colorado Rockies a few summers ago. What a cutie.

Former President Clinton on flight EWR to OSL a few years ago, was very nice to everyone, especially the children and the elderly. My wife took a picture of him and her 88 year old mother.

When I was sitting at the gate at ORD in March 2002 waiting to board SK946 I thought I saw someone looking a lot like Lisa Miskovsky and a bit later the gate agents paiged her so I knew it was her.. Once in the plane she turned out to fly economy and was seated just a few rows infront of me! Not a major celebrity perhaps but it was still kinda cool!

Saw these persons last year:

Swedish king Carl Gustaf on KLR-ARN, he had the whole front row by himself.
Stefan Holm on ARN-FRA, I think he is some kind of famous athletic (not interested in that sport at all but I have seen his face in the paper).
Hans Blix (former UN chief weapons inspector) on CPH-ARN.
Jennifer Garner on SEA-CPH.

He won a gold medal in highjump in the 2004 Olympic games in Athens.
He may win a new gold medal tomorrow in Helsinki...

Flew ORD-ARN with them onboard in November last year. Do I need to say they were op-uped? I guess Hans Fahlen did collect some points during his time at När & Fjärran.

White Glove Flight

Crown Prince Haakon BGO-OSL. You could see the flight would be a Royal flight, as the flight attendants were wearing white gloves. Is that usual across the SK system for all royalty? What about presidents?
