Bono pays ?1,000 to fly favourite hat to Italy
Bono reportedly splashed out ?1,000 to have his trilby flown first class to Italy. The U2 singer had forgotten to pack his favourite hat for a charity gig with Luciano Pavarotti.
So he organised an epic journey to ensure it arrived safely from England, reports The Sun. First a cab took the hat to Gatwick Airport from West London, running up a ?100 fare and tip. Once there, stewards collected the trilby and put it on Monday's 1.40pm British Airways flight to Bologna, costing Bono ?442.
But even though it had its own first class seat, flight attendants were concerned it would go missing or get squashed so they moved it into the cockpit. On touch-down, a ?150 hired driver grabbed the hat and sped to Modena, Pavarotti's home town and the venue for the concert.
An insider told The Sun: "Including ?200 insurance and tips, he spent about ?1,000 flying it out - but that's nothing compared to the amount he'll have raised on the night."
