Harry Styles and Selena Gomez in fan selfies at airports

Celebrities seem to spend half their lives hopping on and off planes.

So it’s hardly surprising they often get spotted at airports.

And while many don the black sunglasses and rush through to avoid detection, others – as these photos prove – are only too happy to stop and pose with fans.

One managed to grab a selfie with Cara Delevingne at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand.

Another waited all night at Glasgow Airport for the chance to see Harry Styles, and it paid off. The One Direction star agreed to a snap.

Read on for more in-transit star encounters, rounded up from across the web by MailOnline Travel.
