  • Ever wonder what Bill Murray is like on a flight? Well here ya go...

    A friend of Fox411 shared business class with Bill Murray last week on his flight from Los Angeles to New York.

    Here’s a play-by-play.

    Bill, who goes by “William” on planes, was entertaining as always, rocking an Indiana Jones style hat, leather vest and the crutches he’s been sporting since a skiing fall at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

    He boarded at the last minute and got comfy right away so his leg wouldn’t bother him. He was wrapped up in a big quilt and settled into his pillow while he chatted with passengers. He joked about the next possible installation of the “Ghostbusters” franchise when a fan asked him about it, and he made friends right away with the crew.

    The occasional party guy tamed his ways for the nearly six hour flight, sipping a water and avoiding the free booze. Bill slept for most of the overnight flight with his injured leg raised up.

    After the plane landed at JFK airport in New York, Bill speedily hobbled through the terminal with his crutches, passengers sidling up to ask how he was maneuvering so well.

    In baggage claim, Bill settled onto a bench and patiently waited for his bags. He never once acted like a superstar, or like he was annoyed at having to talk to so many people at 6 am in the morning.

    A passenger asked him when he was getting off his crutches, and he had hoped it would be as soon as this week.

    Godspeed, William, Godspeed.
