Singer Beyonce Knowles and rapper beau Jay-Z were forced to revise their travel plans after finding that their luggage would not fit in the Boeing 747 they had reserved.The couple chartered a second plane to Johannesburg when South African Airways staff told them the entire first-class lounge was insufficient to hold their “almighty collection of suitcases”, the Sun reports.

Beyonce, 25, and Jay-Z, 36, made the trip from New York for a glossy magazine photo shoot and a source told the newspaper: “The trip only lasts two weeks but it looked like they were emigrating. “The airline were accommodating with their allowance but the check-in desk said that regardless of how much they could afford, there simply wasn’t enough room. “Luckily, Jay-Z and Beyonce aren’t short of a bob and coughed up to charter a separate plane.”

The diva couple also took part in a safari while in the South African capital, but shocked photographers by changing outfits four times before the photo shoot had even begun.
