Ranbir Kapoor flew in from Bangalore in economy class

Mumbai: Ranbir Kapoor's tall frame was wrapped in the stuffy economy class seat yesterday on a flight from Bangalore to Mumbai. It had nothing to do with an austerity drive.
Because of limited availability of flights available following the pilot strike at Indian Airlines and Air India, Ranbir Kapoor had to travel economy class along with director Ayaan Mukherjee and co-star Konkona Sen Sharma.
A source reveals, "Ranbir was in Bangalore for the promotional activities of Wake Up Sid. He had to return to Mumbai on Wednesday for a trial he was holding for close friends and family at Yashraj Studios. He tried to get last-minute business class tickets but because the number of the flights has been reduced drastically, he couldn't get a ticket. He chose to travel economy class instead as he couldn't miss his own trial."
Ranbir says, "I travel all the time by economy. I don't have any qualms about it. I travel to Bhopal (for Rajneeti shooting) on a common class flight a lot and have no problems with it. I am not hell-bent on only flying business or first class."
