Pippa Middleton’s budget flight

OHMYGOSSIP — Pippa Middleton and her parents Michael and Carole boarded a budget airline to fly to London on Tuesday (21.10.14) – but still splashed out £12 for priority boarding.

The multi-millionaires – whose mail order company Party Pieces is estimated to be worth £30 million, according to experts – were spotted getting on an easyJet flight from Inverness in Scotland to London Gatwick, for which tickets cost as little as £54, but they did splash out an extra £12 each for priority boarding.

A passenger on the plane is quoted by MailOnline as saying: “We saw them wandering around the terminal.

“Inverness is a tiny airport, and there was only one plane on the runway, otherwise I might have thought they were flying in a private jet. They’re rich enough, I suppose.

“I think they had paid to select their seats, which meant they got to board the plane first, and were all sat in a row when I finally made it on the plane.

“They’re practically royalty, but it’s nice to know that they’re not too posh to fly with normal people.”

While the Middleton family were enjoying the easyJet hospitality on their 80-minute flight, their daughter Duchess Catherine – known as Kate Middleton prior to her marriage to Prince William – was chatting to Singapore President Tony Tan and his wife Mary.

It’s not the first time the Middletons have flown easyJet as Carole, Michael and Pippa all opted to fly with the airline company, along with Prince Harry, when they travelled to Bari in Italy in September.
