Why did Ivanka Trump fly JetBlue? Cost, security, convenience

To have the president-elect’s daughter traveling on a commercial flight for more than three hours could be a security risk.

"...for more than three hours..."? Why? Does that give a terrorist enough time to move a mobile SAM battery into place, or to launch one of their Mach 2.2 interceptors to shoot down the plane?

The risky times are driving to the airport, transiting the airport, dubious baggage handling security, taxi & take-off. Then the reverse at the destination. Time spend at 35,000 feet is the secure part of the trip, whether it be for 2 hours or ten.

Simple answer is that it was a short haul flight and not worth the trouble of booking one’s own plane for such a short trip.

Goldstein and his “so-called” husband.

I will NEVER accept homosexual “so-called” marriage.

I don’t know about the set up idea. I have a hard time understanding how they would have known ahead of time that Ivanka and her family would be on that flight.

Goldstien must be the wife?

Sounds like this wannaBe Bully should have his ASS kicked.Where do I send a resume to Trump for a personnal attache job?

Private planes are great if you’re flying to several places and need scheduling flexibility. There’s not much point for a NYC-SF trip, because there are lots of daily flights.

One of those guys had posted on twitter - since deleted, apparently - that they were looking to harass her. They were stalking her. Easy enough to quickly book a flight for an opportunity to do so. If he'd been smarter he would have waited until they were in the air and gotten more bang for his buck. I wonder if they ever took that later flight or if it was all just part of their attack, even using the child as a prop...

That's easy, some Democrat hater in the travel system tips off Hillary HQ and they quickly find a "bulletproof" gay lawyer with husband and child to scream into action.

She went to Hawaii on a private jet after JetBlue landed.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

She wanted to experience how the ‘little people’ live instead of flying on her dad’s luxurious Boeing 737? ;-)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thanks. :-)

JFK-SFO is short haul?

[2ndDivisionVet]

He doesn’t own a 737. He has a 757 and another smaller business jet.

[Paleo Conservative]

He has a 757 not a puny 737.

As long as he wasn’t paying for her ticket, it is none of the queer’s business why she was flying commericial .

His’ do not have husbands. His’ have wives.

[Jonty30]

I don’t know the routes, but my understanding was that it was a flight no more than a couple of hours in length. If that makes it mid-haul, that’s fine. I can be corrected on that.
