Ariana Grande won’t do ‘celebrity class divide,’ claims airline source
Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop exclusively learned about Ariana Grande’s travel demands, which include her team. It appears she has taken a loyal approach toward her crew while traveling on commercial flights.
Grande reportedly refused to fly first class unless her immediate associates could get the same seats. In fact, she made it clear that she requires an arrangement with a cluster of six business-class seats surrounding her.
An airline source claimed that the “Wicked” star has refused to participate in the “celebrity class divide.” They alleged that she doesn’t want any of her “assistants banished to row 38” or “stylists wedged next to the bathrooms.”
Unlike other A-listers, Ariana Grande reportedly plans to prioritize travel fairness to ensure that morale stays high and everyone remains within sight, instead of relaxing alone in comfort. A second insider explained that “those are the faces she needs to see” the moment turbulence strikes.
Another coordinator even compared planning a seating layout for Grande to a “royal court choreography.” However, certain crew members have described her behavior toward them as “polite,” revealing that she’s “quick to thank staff and rarely complains.”
As for the Grammy winner’s flying schedule, she missed the “Wicked: For Good” premiere in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier this week. The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that she shared the news via since-deleted Instagram Stories, revealing a change in her travel plans due to a safety issue on the plane.
