CONOR MCGREGOR is no stranger to flying in style.
But the UFC icon’s latest private flight was one most of us could only ever dream of having.

McGregor, 36, jetted off to Dubai earlier this week ahead of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship‘s maiden events in the UAE.
He flew from Dublin on Union Aviation’s luxury Embraer Lineage 1000 aircraft, which are one of the most expensive in the world.
There are currently only four Lineage 1000 jets, which cost a whopping £38million, in Europe.
The aircraft features five spacious passenger zones with comfy seats, as well as a luxury lounge area with a huge TV.
It also has an office with a bed for passengers to get 40 winks on as they soar through the skies in style.
McGregor shared footage of him boarding and walking through the plane with his 46.7million Instagram followers on Thursday.
A snippet of his accompanying caption read: “Taking the big jumbo jet from Dublin to Dubai for our inaugural Bare Knuckle FC Doubler Header!”
And shortly after boarding the aircraft while dressed to the nines, ‘The Notorious’, who was greeted warmly by the crew, crashed on the bed as he chomped on some fresh fruit.
Inside McGregor’s Notorious lifestyle
With more sides to his personality than an Octagon, Conor McGregor’s rise has been an enthralling watch.
Going from UFC icon to entrepreneur and Hollywood star, the Irishman has transcended the sport he helped bring to the masses.
He has four children with fiancee Dee Devlin and the family enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
McGregor has not fought in UFC since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021.
That has not stopped him amassing a net worth of over £150m thanks to his Proper No Twelve whiskey and fashion line.
And he is due to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 in an eagerly-awaited headline clash with Michael Chandler.
McGregor also starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Amazon Prime remake of classic movie Road House, although he is dreading his mum seeing one X-rated scene.
Notorious turned up to the premiere in a £60,000 suit that was outdone by his £460k watch.
The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus.
He pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a pub in 2018 and had his £150k Bentley seized by police for driving offences four years later.
Joe Rogan lashed out at McGregor in a four-letter outburst and the Irishman has also fired shots at Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury.
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather also has McGregor on his enemy list after the pair clashed in a cross-sport bout in 2017.

He said: “Oh yes! Yup, yup.”
Former two-weight UFC world champion McGregor has previously hinted that he could one day compete in the BKFC ring.
But he recently suggested that he’s done with fighting, saying: “I’ve got two fights on the contract, I’m in negotiations.
“Last week something happened to me. I went to the White House, and, my heart bleeds for my country right now.
“So there’s a lot of stuff going on back home… I’m happy with what I’ve done.
“There’s something else for me that’s in my gut right now. And that’s where I’m going.
“So we’ll see. Greatness don’t rush. And right now Ireland is in my thoughts. “That’s where I’m at.”
