Embora a maioria seja multimilionária, nem todas as celebridades voam em jatos particulares e na primeira classe o tempo todo. Afinal, as celebridades são apenas pessoas e provavelmente desejam ter uma experiência comum de vez em quando, mas é difícil, já que são assediadas aonde quer que vão. Alguns não estão dispostos a cavar tão fundo em seus bolsos quando se trata de viagens, então preferem voar em classe econômica.
There’s a fair chance you might run into a celebrity at big city airports, such as LA‘s LAX. But if you’re extra lucky, you will find yourself sitting next to a familiar face. Chances are you won’t even recognize celebrities without makeup, wearing worn-out clothes.
10 Claire Danes
Let’s begin with Claire Danes who isn’t necessarily an avid economy class flyer, but she will take a seat with the rest of us if she has no other choice. That’s exactly what happened after the 2011 SAG Awards. The event was brought up so many times that she felt like she was bragging about it – even though she didn’t mind the situation at all.
It’s fascinating how much love celebs get simply for flying economy.
9 Nicholas Cage
Nicolas Cage can’t go unnoticed anywhere he goes, and it’s partially thanks to his audacious style of fashion. Even though he is worth $25 million, Nicolas Cage loves to stay out of the press. When he travels, he often dons a stereotypical inconspicuous attire, such as a trench-coat and a hat.
When he showed up wearing a glittery blue jacket at the Salt Lake City airport, he had to fight off the eager selfie-makers. If you see him on your next flight, do the man a favor and just leave him alone.
8 Timothée Chalamet
Timothée rose to fame literally overnight after the grand success of Call Me By Your Name in 2017. Even though he is no longer an anonymous passenger, he is just as humble and down to earth as he used to be in the days prior to his fame.
In 2019, an excited fan found herself sitting next to him on a flight. She only mustered up the courage to confront him about his identity an hour in, worrying that the situation would annoy him. Quite on the contrary: they had a lovely conversation, the kind that two strangers might have. Except that one is an Oscar nominee.
7 Ben Gibbard
Ben Gibbard, the singer of Death Cab For Cutie, is a regular traveler who tends to fly economy class. A few fans have shared how the happy encounter went online, saying that Ben is a kind man who doesn’t mind chatting with his fans. One was even lucky enough to get access to backstage at one of the band’s upcoming concerts.
Ben is probably enjoying a close-to-normal level of anonymity while traveling, but that wasn’t the case while he was dating Zooey Deschanel. Unlike Ben, she couldn’t get a break from the vulture-like paparazzi.
6 Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin might be worth $65 million, but that doesn’t exempt him from being treated just like anybody else. The star was once thrown off an American Airlines flight because he refused to put his phone away – he was playing a game. This was back in 2011, but the experience didn’t sour the economy class experience forever.

He has been spotted flying coach on several occasions, so something about the experience must appeal to him.
5 Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders is a man of principles and one of Blog da Clara he can’t stomach is social injustice and wealth inequality. During his 2016 campaign, he made a point to fly economy rather than first class in the beginning, but was soon put under Secret Service protection.
When he was “caught” flying first class this year, it broke the news. Meanwhile, the rest of celebrities and politicians make their way around the world in private jets and no one bats an eye.
4 Prince William
Even though he is the future king of the UK, Prince William and his wife Kate don’t mind flying economy when necessary. One time, they took a flight to Aberdeen, Scotland that cost them less than $100. Their adorable children were also on board. It seems like the future king is taking after his mother Princess Diana who frequently flew economy as well.
The passengers didn’t make a huge deal out of it. After all, Brits are much more reserved than most other nations.
3 Jessica Alba
Compared to the fame Jessica Alba enjoyed in the early 2000s, she is now essentially gone from the Hollywood scene. Those who have been wondering what she’s been doing since all but disappearing from the movie screens are in for a treat. She’s now doing better than ever: she is a businesswoman who owns Honest Company, which is estimated to be worth more than a billion dollars.

Despite drowning in cash, Jessica has been spotted flying coach on several occasions, especially when she is not accompanied by her three children.
2 Amy Adams
Amy Adams typically flies first class, but once, she went out of her way to swap her seats with a US soldier she saw in the departure lounge. She approached the staff of Delta Airlines and quietly arranged the change.
Passengers were ecstatic to see the stunning redhead join them in economy, especially after they learned about the reason behind her decision. She let several fans take selfies with her, which is something that most celebrities (justifiably) can’t tolerate.
1 Blake Lively
Blake Lively has always been one of the most beloved celebrities because she and her husband Ryan Reynolds are incredibly relatable both as parents and as humans. On top of that, Blake also frequently flies coach.
During her interview with Jimmy Fallon, she told what the experience was like for her. At the time of the recording, everybody was watching Deadpool while flying, so she couldn’t escape watching steamy and intimate scenes of her husband with another woman. While smiling her beaming smile, she summed up the situation as “torture”.
