Ed Sheeran Prefers Budget Airlines Over Private Jets for Environmental Reasons
In a recent episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, music superstar Ed Sheeran, 34, revealed his surprising travel preferences despite his staggering net worth of $350 million. Unlike many celebrities who use private jets, Sheeran prefers budget airlines, prioritizing environmental concerns over lavish travel.
During the conversation, Sheeran disclosed that he frequently travels with fans, sharing an amusing anecdote from a trip when he returned from a European show on a crowded flight with enthusiastic supporters. Contrary to Theroux’s assumptions about the singer’s reluctance to use public transport, Sheeran exclaimed, “Love it,” emphasizing his commitment to fly "completely normally" whenever possible due to his wife’s work in sustainability.
Reflecting on a past experience after a wild night out, Sheeran recalled flying back home amidst a rowdy group of young men while battling a hangover and lack of sleep. “I was planning on crashing out on the plane,” he said, only to be disrupted by the excited travelers around him.
Sheeran’s preference for trains and budget airlines, like Ryanair, stands in stark contrast to other high-profile celebrities frequently criticized for their excessive private jet usage. When prompted about his travel choices, he confirmed that while he occasionally uses private jets for work-related trips, he finds it difficult to justify them from an ecological standpoint.
His candid remarks serve as a refreshing departure from the norm in the celebrity sphere, where excessive jet-setting has become a controversial topic. As the conversation highlighted, Sheeran’s travel habits resonate with growing public concerns over climate change, offering a more responsible example for peers in the industry.
