'Take the helicopter'

The tweet has already received over 7.8 lakh likes and more than 1.5 lakh retweets. Many internet users also wanted her to take the helicopter to the airport, while others wondered where the copter would pick her up from. One Netizen wrote, “I don’t know you and you don’t know me but you need to do this for me." No matter how much the internet users wanted her to take the copter, she eventually decided to take a subway train. In one of her comments, she said that because she had a big bag with her and a helicopter would only allow her to take a carry bag. She even said that the copter ride was too expensive for her to travel.
