Waited in line behind Andie MacDowell at Charles de Gaulle a number of years ago. She had this female body guard/traveling companion who was at least six foot, 200 pounds. Beauty and the beast.

mark few (he doesnt count in my mind, but after seeing some of the rest of the board's filter...)
 
Does seeing RVD (aka Rob van Dam) at the Denny's near the airport (essington/prospect park) count?
 
Same flight as chubby checker. He wasn't even in first class.
Terry Francona sat in row in front of me on a flight and the guy sitting next to him barraged him with so many questions to the point where I was even getting annoyed.

Chubby Checker in coach;early 2000's

I only fly 1st class....I have lots of miles i.e. Upgrades!
 
Does a BW celebrity count? Think I saw Mikey Adelman at the CoP airport chickie Pete's treating his herpes with crab fries.
 
Carlos Santana in Newark United Club - people were taking iPad selfies with him in the background
Geraldo Rivera - JFK security line. Dude is really short.
 
Bill Walton at DC (National). Pretty nice guy, talked to me for a minute.
 
Its sad to say Brian Baldinger and Lyle Lovett are probably the most famous people I've seen in the airport.

As much as I fly, 50+ flights a year for almost 20 years now, I should have a better answer to this question. Not a lot of celebrities flying in and out of Raleigh except for the annual Jimmy V golf tournament.

Mike Wilbon from PTI
Entire LA Galaxy team Beckham played for in the DFW Admirals Club one day. Beckham was absent.

That is about it.
 
I can't believe Stallone or Clooney have flown commercial in the past 20 years.
 
Bill Russell
Harry Kalas (he put wife #2 in first class - he sat in front of me)
Jeremiah Trotter (sat next to me)
Philadelphia Union (they fly commercial)
Eric Snow (sat behind me with approximately 234325 members of his posse)
 
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Was in front of me at the security line in JFK about 3 years ago. guy looked like he was coming off a bender when i saw him. Looked like absolute crap.
