Kristin Cavallari Explains Why She Makes Her Children Fly Economy While She Opts for 1st Class 

Acknowledging that her three kids have been born into privilege, Cavallari added she didn’t want her kids to take advantage of the wealth and opportunities that not everyone is blessed with.

“I try to be very hyper aware of that because they are growing up in a very fortunate situation and I want them to know this is my money, this is not your money,” Cavallari continued. “And you know, something as small as they fly coach and I’m flying in first class, that was important to me when they became old enough that they could.”

Cavallari isn’t the first celebrity to speak candidly about taking a stance against buying first class tickets for their family members, even if they theoretically can afford it. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay previously echoed a similar sentiment.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2017, Ramsay, 62, said he never lets his children fly first class either. (Ramsay and his wife, Tana, share six kids: Megan, 28, Holly, 26, Jack, 26, Tilly, 24, Oscar, 7, and Jesse, 2.).

“I have got to keep it real with the kids, and also I think just getting kids at the age of five, six and seven, used to first class and those big seats, they do not need the space, they get entertainment on their iPads,” he told the outlet at the time.

He added, “I do not want them sat there with a 10-course f**king menu with champagne. I am not embarrassed. It is my wife and I’s choice to discipline them and to keep them real.”
