Kate Moss loves to fly—most of the time, at least...

On Sunday, the 41-year-old supermodel was reportedly escorted off an EasyJet flight for "disruptive behavior." In an interview conducted with British InStyle prior to this alleged incident, though, Moss was raving about her typical in-air experience!

"I love it. I find it really relaxing," she told the mag's July issue, which is on stands now. "No phone, a movie, a glass of wine and some salad. Perfect!"

"I always take a cashmere blanket and I have pictures of my family in my passport holder," she added. "I always go to sleep on the plane. Then I try and stay up whenever I get where I'm going to and get straight into the time zone I'm in."

That all sounds practical....and not at all disruptive! Moss copped to being just a tad more high-maintenance than your average flier, but her luggage demands weren't anything too crazy. As she told InStyle U.K., "I don't think I massively over-pack but I'm definitely not a one-case kind of girl."

"If the plane lost all my luggage and I was somewhere sunny like Ibiza I would just get a bikini, shorts, T-shirt and sandals," she said. "If it was somewhere colder like New York I'd go for jeans, jacket and a pair of Louboutins."

That sounds quite levelheaded as well!  Perhaps part of the purported problem Sunday was that Moss wasn't necessarily in mommy mode—she was traveling with her friend, actress Sadie Frost, and not her preferred companion, her 12-year-old daughter Lila.

The model mama wants to go on a grand adventure with her mini-me (assuming recent events haven't squashed the travel bug for Moss). "Stuart Weitzman does this cool thing with his kids, which I want to do with Lila," she explained. "You pick a number at random out of a hat and then pick the corresponding number on the departure board. Then you just  go wherever it says. Brilliant!"
