   So she couldn't do what all the rest of us do and book a flight on an airline?   
   She *had* to fly on a private jet because she's one of our precious, precious   
   celebrities and she shouldn't be forced to rub elbows with the rabble on a   
   commercial airline. She was willing to ask favors of a sexual predator if that   
   meant she could avoid the horrors of coach.
