My uncle sat next to Ray Dorset on a plane once and had a nice chat with him. The nearest I've got to sitting next to celebrity on a plane was having to sit between Brian Molko's minders which frankly was impossible given their size. They weren't at all happy with the arrangements saying that they wanted a pretty girl there. Luckily, that was enough to enable a suitable seat swap for the rest of the journey.
