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.”

All I’m thinking is what a waste of jet fuel, resources, environmental harm, etc
etc etc.

Smh. So obnoxious and unnecessary.

Kardashian and West’s trip comes shortly after the couple revealed their Hidden
Hills, California, home was saved from the deadly Woolsey wildfire thanks to a
group of private firefighters they hired to protect it.

“We were lucky,” Kardashian said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres
Show Wednesday. “We were really blessed to have the help of the firefighters
that we did. Our house is right on the end of a big park. The whole park had
caught fire, so if our house went, then every other house would go.”

To help those who didn’t make it out unscathed, Kardashian announced two
separate $200,000 donations — one going to the Wildfire Relief Fund and the
other to the California Fire Foundation — on behalf of herself, West and his
Yeezy label.
