In all of my time flying, Ive only once really spotted a celebrity onboard. Around a year or so back, while we were flying in coach, Kim noticed that actress Sandra Oh (Sideways, Grey’s Anatomy) sat down in the seat right in front of me.

One other time, while flying in business class, some D-List British celebrity was sitting in front of us. Another passenger told us who she was, not that I can recall. I’m pretty sure her biggest claim to fame was dating a football (soccer) coach!
Now imagine sitting on the plane and seeing Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge come onboard and take a seat in coach! Continue reading Kate Middleton Flies in Coach
