Spotted: 30 celebrities on private jets

How better to beat the January blues than by jetting off to sunny climes once the festive season has come to an end? This is exactly what American model Devon Windsor did, posting this snap of herself posing in front of a sizeable private jet with the caption, "Off to somewhere warmer!" at the end of December 2017. Although Windsor didn't confirm her destination, the post was followed up by a number of images showing beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise waters hinting at somewhere in the Caribbean or Bahamas.

British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shared this sweet snap to wish her social media followers a happy holiday as she boarded a private jet in December 2017. The star was pictured holding her six-month-old son Jack as the pair took a pre-Christmas family vacation to Navaho Nation in Utah. Of course, this is hardly the model's first private flight. Huntington-Whiteley jetted off for some late summer sun before the start of London Fashion Week in September 2016 and shared a chic pre-take off snap from an airfield near her home in LA.

Legendary musician Lionel Richie and his model daughter Sofia shared a series of snaps from a private jet jaunt to New York in September 2017. The pair were joined by other members of the Richie family who visited the American city from their home in LA to support Sofia as she walked in Jeremy Scott's New York Fashion Week runway show.

One reason many people choose to fly by private jet is that it offers unparalleled comfort and privacy to work while travelling. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson demonstrated this perfectly when he shared these snaps of himself doing 'homework' for his upcoming movie Skyscraper while on a quick jaunt to Vancouver in Canada where the film is shooting.

When you're an international pop icon with a world tour and hectic promotional schedule to stick to flying private is the only way to go. It can also be super stylish, as Kylie Minogue showed with this fun snap taken on her arrival to the UK in March 2017. But the biggest benefit to having your own plane? Flexibility - Kylie shared a picture of herself on a gorgeous tropical beach just days later.

American model Karlie Kloss swapped New York Fashion Week for a relaxing break in St Barths in February 2017 but that didn't mean she forgot all the hard work going on back home. Posing on the private jet ready to whisk her off to the Caribbean, she posted this image with the caption, "St Barths bound. Wearing my @DVF wrap dress on this runway...and wishing good luck to @DVF and @saunderstudio on their #NYFW runway today".

Cristiano Ronaldo - a man roundly considered one of the world's best footballers and a sports star often spotted on luxury yacht vacations - celebrated Real Madrid's recent Champions League win in style on board a private jet with a group of friends in June 2016.

When you're on tour as a member of one of the world's biggest girl groups then how better to travel the world than on a private jet? Recently spotted in Singapore and Australia before heading off to holiday on a luxury yacht in Marbella, Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock shows just how glamorous flying private can be.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian also headed to the French Riviera in May 2016. Making herself right at home, Kardashian is clearly in no need of a beginner's guide to flying by private jet and cheekily captioned this snap of herself spreading out on board "Cramped".

Flying private may come as second nature to some celebrities but for Hollywood A-lister Chris Pratt it is still an experience worth sharing. He posted this image to social media with the caption, "Got to take a jet. Which is the pinnacle of luxury travel. So blessed and fortunate and still embracing how fantastic this is. Some people lose that. I don't think I will. Who knows? I hope not to."
