One of the highlights of the Boeing 757 is a glass cockpit with large computer screens that display flight info. It has a self-checking feature that alerts pilots about issues before they bloom into emergencies. Trump’s plane is one of the fastest in the world and can hit more than 500 miles per hour powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofan engines that can keep it afloat for 16 hours.

A regular Boeing 757 can seat up to 200 people, but Trump has refurbished his plane to accommodate only 23 passengers. Apart from the two bedrooms, it has a private guest room, dining room, and a video room with cinema system. Trump pays a lavish price for these amenities and shells out about $10,800 for a one-hour flight including fuel.
