There are lots of reasons to choose to fly with a private jet. It is certainly popular with the rich and famous; it avoids the need to have to go into the airport and queue with everybody else. Your limousine can drive you straight out onto the tarmac, and all the paperwork can be taken care of on your behalf. A team of staff are dedicated to you. and your party alone, and their wish is your command, but sometimes even celebrity requests on a private jet are completely outrageous. That’s not to say the staff won’t go the extra mile to oblige, but they are certainly stories to tell their friends when they return home. In order to comply with data protection staff are careful never to release the names, but they can recount tales of the outrageous celebrity requests that came when they flew on a plane with them.
A Trip Around the Block
Now we all know the feeling of boredom that can occur with day-to-day life. Sometimes it can make us feel quite trapped and naturally in aeroplane gives you the sense of flying free and avoiding everything. One celebrity couple was so sick and tired of the constant whirlwind of crowds and parties, but they charted a plane to nowhere. You’ve heard of taking a drive just to change your scenery while this couple took a flight just to change their scenery. For six hours, they sat in their plane, drinking wine and taking advantage of the spa treatments provided by the crew. A private chef also went with them and prepared them a stunning high-class meal and to entertain them an opera singer was also boarded who sang many songs to entertain and delight. It kind of raises this stakes for date night, and six hours later they returned to the same airport they started and went home a lot happier. Whatever floats your boat we guess, or in this case whatever flies your plane!
Blooming Marvellous
Many celebrities are known for a love of floral arrangements, Katy Perry, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey to name but a few. The latter is known for her diva-like requests on stage and in hotels so it would come as no surprise if she also made demands on a private jet. We don’t actually know who made this request, but there was indeed a demand for white Casablanca lilies to fill the entire plane while the celebrity was on board. We hope none of the staff suffered from pollen allergies as it could have been quite tricky, but they certainly do look delightful and would have brightened up the place. We assume she didn’t fly with the cat as these are one of the most toxic plants for our feline friends.
Fussy Eaters
It is totally understandable to want food on your private flight that you enjoy. And therefore, companies are quite used to being asked for certain meals provided by the on-board chef who is highly skilled. But would you believe that some celebrities have insisted on a McDonald’s happy meal or a Burger King meal? You would think they would prefer the offerings from the cordon Bleu chef but evidently not. Another celebrity insisted that if they were going to fly, they would need the plane stocking with sparkling ice Kiwi strawberry and cool ranch Doritos. Whatever tickles your taste buds! There is also the tale of the celebrity who brought their own food taster, who had to check that the food was to the standard they would require by tasting it first. Maybe they were totally paranoid and wanted to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with or maybe they were just fussy who can tell. Now open flames and private jets do not sound like the best idea, so normally this sort of thing is not allowed. But a 50-year-old celebrity had a birthday party in the skies and insisted that her cake had candles during the flight. They flew to Florence in Italy, and in order to comply with every regulation and make her wish come true the flight also had to feature a real live bonafide fireman. We guess reaching half a century is an achievement worth celebrating, but we’re very relieved that nothing went wrong.
A Plane for Me…
…and a plane for my shopping, please. Finally, how about the celebrity who chartered two jets, one for her and one for her massive shopping haul filled with high-end fashion brands. Apparently, she couldn’t possibly fly with the baggage, and neither could it be shipped, coach. Her massive spending spree required its own private jet to fly, while she relaxed in a cabin all to herself. It certainly sounds like it would have been an expensive shopping trip, but evidently, she could easily afford it, in which case, why not!
