If you travel in the same plane all the time, and you own that plane, people will be able to track you. Why not just get a good contract with a private jet company so you can fly anonymously? Even if she wins this case, she will still be trackable until she takes advantage of any of the options she has at her disposal.

Or buy two more private jets and always have two fly randomly across the country while noone knows which one you're using

Checkmate

Ah, the ole Air Force One switcheroo.

Go the extra mile and have body doubles on each flight

Yeah that was what I was thinking. "Just get more jets dummy"

Heck she could spend a tiny amount of her dragon hoard sized wealth to offset the environmental impact of her air travel. For example by buying endangered rain forest land and donating it to a public charity. But no, she rather uses her wealth as a legal club to try to silence people pointing out the harm she does to the planet.

To be fair, she could do that put people would still fixate on the private flight usage.

No, obfuscating her travel in charters is the viable 'solution' to this problem. Still roughly equivalent environmental impact (actually, potentially a bit more since a charter company might have to do extra empty flights for repositioning), but her travel would be harder to discern.

Some sure would. But with good PR she could definitely come up on top of it. Certainly better than she fares now. And if someone could pull it off, then it's her.

That would be the "rich way" to avoid such a problem yeah. But it certainly wouldn't make her a better person.
