Flying private seems to be the new standard of success among celebrities. And based on the many airplane posts they share on social media, it's clear they no longer fly coach. Stars fly more than the average person because their jobs require them to make appearances all over the country and sometimes overseas. Based on their hectic schedules, it makes sense that they wouldn't want to be tied down to an airline's set schedule to make their trips. Avoiding prying eyes on commercial flights is probably an added bonus.
Cardi B is one star who has been flying all over the world as she rises to international fame. She has made it a point to fly back and forth to spend time with her baby daughter, and she does most of her traveling on a private jet. Must be nice, right?
More from MamásLatinas: Inside Cardi B's incredibly lavish & glam life
The Kardashian-Jenner sisters were among those who started the trend of posing for plane pics and having full-on photo shoots before boarding a plane and while flying. The luxurious jets they fly on are a whole different ballgame, and there's a huge difference between traveling like that or in economy. The trend has picked up so much over the years that now a photography studio in Russia helps people stage photo shoots on a plane for a fee of $240 for two hours, without having to pay for a full flight. Fake it 'til you make it, right?

Flying with children can be complicated, so that's where a private plane comes in handy.
The Kardashian-West family is quickly expanding. The couple flies a lot so it makes sense that they fly private when bringing their little ones along for the ride.
