New York – L.A., May 8, 2007 – The day after the Metropolitan Museum’s glittering Costume Institute Gala, the biggest event on New York’s social calendar, the stars traded designer gowns for jeans, and boarded jets bound for Los Angeles.

A very special Costume Gala attendee flew out of JFK on American Airlines Flight 117, and found Ginnifer Goodwin and Chris Klein – the couple that denies being a couple – seated in coach seats 17A and 17B on the LAX-bound flight. Before boarding, our source said, the actors roamed the airport shops and picked up some food at a deli. Upon landing in L.A., the cute couple waited for their luggage at the carousel just like regular people!

Christina Ricci and Sandra Bullock were on the same flight, in first class. Bullock’s rep sat in business class.

Our source on the airplane was not snapping pictures, and the photos of the flight-mates at left were taken at the big gala on Monday evening.
