Ah, it’s always nice to read about VIP perks you’ll probably never experience. In The Star Treatment: Flying Like Jennifer Aniston, Wall Street Journal columnist Scott McCartney (and you thought only blogs and vapid ‘bloids covered celebrity travel…) seeks to counter that crest-fallen feeling by getting the insider details on unadvertised airline VIP services. For example, the story reports that American Airlines offers a special “Five Star” concierge service upon request for passengers at LAX and JFK, while a Los Angeles-based company called LJR will usher travelers past check-in and security for around $110.

If it makes you feel any better, the story also reports that, along with the service perks that come with being a celebrity, A-listers also have the burden of being plagued by swarms of fans and paparazzi photogs, who are usually tipped off publicists and, sometimes, by the very airline employees who help them in the terminal.
