00:00Most journalists traveling with the U.S. president don't see much of the interior of Air Force One, the presidential jet.
00:09The press cabin is in the back of the plane, accessible by a rear set of steps and a quick turn of a corner.
00:17To reach the presidential suite at the front of the plane would require negotiating with the armed Secret Service agents in the next-door cabin.
00:25On Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East this week, when the future of the famous plane was a huge talking point,
00:31Fox News host Sean Hannity had priority seating and access to the president to conduct an in-flight interview.
00:38But the rest of us in the traveling press pool were consigned to our small section of the plane.
00:43It was a whirlwind trip, hitting three nations in three nights, half a world away.
00:48The president described it as an endurance test, one that his staff and those of us in the press pool had to manage as well.
00:55The presidential jet is not a bad way to fly, however.
00:59The 14 seats are comfortable, roughly on par with a first-class domestic flight.
01:04There's a bathroom and a table with snacks, including the coveted Air Force One-branded M&Ms bearing the president's signature,
01:10which aren't available anywhere else.
01:12The 14 seats have beenlebrated in the air, which is very important to the committee to be there.
01:33Save the driving force for the Black Flag.
01:34See the wheel walking up with cows.
