KATE Middleton and Prince William have landed on their Caribbean tour – and unsurprisingly they didn’t travel in economy.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed in Belize after an 11-hour flight in a private jet outfitted with plush seats and a VIP area.

The RAF Voyager is used by the UK Government but is made available to the Royal Family when traveling abroad on an official capacity.
The jet features a spacious VIP area reserved for the most important people on the plane, with reclining seats and curtains for privacy, and two passenger cabins.
Government officials can travel in the jet’s 58-seat central Business Class seating area.
Members of the press and television crews are seated in the Economy Class seating group at the rear of the aircraft, which has 100 seats.

Taking to Instagram, the Cambridges shared a photo of them exiting the plane shortly after they landed.
They captioned it, “Arriving in Belize, the first stop on our Caribbean tour!”
The couple should stay at home Belizeformerly British Honduras, until this morning.
The Duke and Duchess are due to visit Belize Jamaica and the Bahamas. Meetings and a variety of events involving politicians and a range of civil society figures are planned.
In 2019, the Cambridges were on board RAF Voyager when this was the case forced to abort the landing after being caught in terrible storms.
The pilot had to abort the landing in Islamabad and return to Lahore after two failed landing attempts at two different airports.
Concerned about his fellow passengers, Prince William strolled down the Airbus A330 to make sure everyone was okay.
The second in line to the throne even joked with people on board, saying he was flying and the turbulence even caused him to “spill his vodka and tonic in one spot”.
