Not terribly unusual for a top-flight Premier League star, but to contrast matters, fellow national team 'keeper Nick Rimando cheekily replied to Howard's tweet to show how the other half travels.

One of MLS's better-paid non-designated players, with an annual salary of $350,000, Rimando could likely afford better than to fly coach, though few things beat frugality and a bag of peanuts.
