Will Smith Quite Persnickety When It Comes to Planes

WillSmith.jpg
Will Smith refused to board an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Manchester the other day because there were no first- or business-class seats. Instead, he chartered a plane for 10,000 pounds, or about $17,000 -- for a flight that takes less than an hour. Will! How precious of you.

The Mirror quotes an Aer Lingus source: "It raised a few eyebrows when we heard because it seemed to be a bit of a snub. It surprised everyone because it's a short flight and economy is still very ­comfortable."

All things being relative, $17,000 to Smith is probably about the equiv. of 17 bucks to us great unwashed. Hell, 17 dollars for a private charter for an hour? Live it up Will! Aside from the politically incorrect carbon footprint (yawn), this does not quality as newsworthy. Besides, I have flown Aer Lingus since I was a babe, and it's like the Laker Skytrain (remember that mess?) with better uniforms.
