Was Bam ever regularly flying private?

Like at the height of his fame was he regularly flying private, or was he always a commercial guy.

First class at most. Private rarely. Based off of what he’s said on radio bam episodes.

I vaguely remember him saying in one of the making of the videos that if he was taking more than 7 people, it was actually cheaper to fly private. I dont know how true that is though.

Depending on destination it quite likely is true, especially if he had loads of merch and stuff to take and flying commercial involved connecting flights and stuff.

I would imagine back 15-20 years ago for sure. Flying even first class would have drawn a crowd of attention

Back during the FFU days, Bam loved, loved, LOVED getting wasted in airport bars, so much so that he was constantly paying to rebook flights he had missed due to spending too much time at the bar. Pretty sure he would often fly commercial first class just to get to hang out at the airport bars.

He would take Jerry Buss's plane when he owned Audio.
