On a recent jaunt to South Africa, power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z were forced to charter an extra plane just to carry their baggage.

At the check-in desk in New York City the duo was told by airline staff there was not enough room on the Johannesburg-bound flight for their luggage.

According to SFGate.com, a witness said, “The trip only lasts two weeks but it looked like they were emigrating.”

The couple then chartered another plane. As one person pointed out, Aaliyah’s life would have been saved had she done the same.

Beyonce and Jay-Z recently returned from rocking West Africa as headlining acts for the inaugural Thisday Music Festival in Lagos, Nigeria, on October 7.
