Kim Kardashian and Kanye West boarded a private 747 jet for a recent long-haul flight, sparking outrage over the extravagant method of travel.
Kardashian, 38, showed off the spacious — and nearly empty — interior of the commercial-size airliner in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories.
“No big deal, just taking a private 747,” Kardashian says, filming West, 41, walking up to the “double decker” plane. “This is how he does it now. Only 747s, private. I’ve never even heard of this, but whatever.”
Travel & Leisure notes the plane could hold up to 660 passengers, and points out that Air Force One is also a Boeing 747.
On board, Kardashian showed off the customized interior, which featured lounge areas, bedrooms and spacious cabins full of empty seats. The jet also contains plenty of work space, which the mother of three calls the “Yeezy floating office.” In another video clip, she shouts out “Team Adidas,” Yeezy’s parent company.
“So this is what a private 747 is like, you guys. I’ve never been on one before. Oh my god, there’s bedrooms everywhere. No big deal. This is like endless,” she says, noting it’s “pretty insane.”
Viewers seemed to agree on that last point, with many saying that the couple’s decision to fly on such a large plane unnecessarily was tactless and harmful to the environment.
“All I’m thinking is what a waste of jet fuel, resources, environmental harm,” wrote one Twitter user, who called the couple’s flight “obnoxious and unnecessary.”
Another commenter on Twitter felt that taking the extravagant trip after making a half-million-dollar donation to wildfire relief efforts was hypocritical.

Good looking jet for sure and very loud.Same engines as the B-58 Hustler IIRC.
Morally yes it seems like extravagant wealth boasting, but morally it is their money and they can affor it.
That expense did “trickle” throung and into the economy, in the cost of the plane, it’s fuel, the services that went with the flight and made it possible. Altogther quite a many jobs were supported for that day as well. Better that than if they had stuffed the money in a mattress.
Let’s see...would I rather those two hang on to the money it cost or hand it to the folks that purchased, maintain and operate that plane???
it is indeed wasteful,obnoxious, grossly ostentatous display of wealth, really bad optics, etc., but it’s their money, and just so long as those two don’t try to lecture we proles about “climate change”, it’s there benighted business ...
Empty? Heck when I am that rich I plan to have a bigger entourage.
Nah, who am I kidding. I would move to the middle of no where and put up razor wire.
Lots of people employed to build and customize this big baby...
I read these lunatics like they are in slow motion.
Every time there is widespread criticism she backtracks and makes pathetic excuses, lately throwing Kanye under the bus. The media, especially Ellen of late, enables her and her family. People are fools to continue buying the crap they sell.

Its called gluttony and narcissism. Sure she is embarrassed but she will take all the photos and post them regardless. These people are sickening. I feel sorry for the youth that think they are cool and aspire to be like them.
I wouldn’t mind flying around on my own 747. Heck, I could bring the cats and all my friends, and still be very comfortable.
“Little slim nacelles on its fuel guzzling turbines made it a very sexy looking aircraft.”
Not sure why this is at the end of your paragraph. Shouldn’t it be up when you first mentioned the subject matter?
The Singapore hostess?
I wouldn’t get too jealous.
It’s just a rental.
Slackers.
Oh well, just as well.
My HOA would probably get nasty with me if I tried to park a 747 in front of my house too much.
