Fly Me
Justin Timberlake -- FutureSex/LoveSouthwest

Posted Apr 11th 2009 3:07AM by TMZ Staff

Southwest Airlines would now like to open pre-boarding to all passengers traveling with small children, anyone who needs special assistance, or any former '90s boy bander who has won six Grammys.

Justin Timberlake
Even though he's worth a kazillion dollars, Justin Timberlake skipped the private jet for a low-budget Southwest Airlines flight from Burbank to Las Vegas on Friday afternoon. This is how the rich stay rich.

According to a TMZ spy who happened to be on the same flight, JT and his bodyguard were allowed to board the plane first -- but somehow the massive bodyguard got stuck in the dreaded middle seat anyway. We're told the bodyguard tried to shoo away a passenger who asked for an autograph after the flight, but Justin happily signed anyway.

Even when flying budget, Justin keeps it first class.

3. Now he is a role model. Frugal and nice to fans. Just wish Jessica would smile once in awhile when they are out together, And yes I know she is not with him in this pic.

4. I love Southwest because they usually fly direct to any city I am going to for about $100 and they have never ever lost any of my luggage. But last time I flew I was C22. As in the absolute LAST person on the plane!!! The secret to happy flying is having carry-on small enough to fit under your seat. Then, it doesn't matter where you sit.

14. To poster # 9, 3 fat chics and 1 limp gangster: Mr. Timberlake is a one man cash flowing work horse. Look at his 1) music: touring, royalties, cd sales, merchandise, itunes, ringtones, licensing, producing, previous boy band earnings, etc....2) movies, tv, disney, producing, dvd sales, worldwide appearance fees, endorsements, sponsorships, syndication, etc, etc, etc...3) personal investments: clothing line, fragrance, licensing, etc... As for limp gangster, stay belly up on the sofa and keep being a dreamer. Mr. Timberlake is a brand, and generates multiple revenue streams , unlike you and your bartending tips and your chance at the lotto. He's setting an example flying SW and probably will sign(or already has) a million dollar deal(yearly) to be a spokesman for SW after this story hits. Brilliant Justin, as for limp gangster, I wish your tip jar overflow, I wish the best for people instead of putting people down. JT is an ultra high net worth individual, the olny ones that know for sure how much his net worth is are his CPA, financial reps, IRS and himself.

15. Next time this no-talent whines about paparazzi, show him this pic. There is no legit reason he should've been allowed to pre-board. It's a big thing on Southwest where you have to suffer for your discount. This guy doesn't need the discount and the non-celebs standing there like cattle do. There's no worse time for an airline to show class preference. That baloney star-loving cops use that it's to avoid a riot is hysterical. Celebs accept all benefits of VIP treatment, but whine about media attention. One goes with the other.

Southwest seems to have become really bad since a male CEO took over.
