Wayne looked dapper in a black jacket, while Klay – who was listening to music – donned a black zip-up coat.

The father-son duo seemed to be flying in style, and were sitting in luxury-looking leather seats.

Behind Wayne two other passengers could be seen, however the flight appeared otherwise empty.

Klay is one of four sons Wayne shares with is wife Coleen Rooney, 35.

It comes after MailOnline revealed that Wayne and Coleen are finally set to move into their £20million mansion, ending four troubled years of delays and planning rows – and they celebrated with a date night.

The couple, who recently enjoyed a luxury mini break to Scotland’s five-star hotel Gleneagles, celebrated the end of the football season with Wayne leading Derby County to narrowly avoid relegation – and the ease of lockdown restrictions.

The couple took time off from their family time with their kids for a romantic meal at the hotel’s two Michelin star Andrew Fairlie restaurant – with Coleen posting the pictures of their grown up night out on her Instagram.

MailOnline revealed that the Rooneys had another special reason to celebrate as the saga of their dream home build is all but over and they are soon to finally move in, more than a year after schedule.

The former England captain, wife Coleen and four sons have been relieved to be able to wave off all but one of the diggers which became a familiar sight around the mansion.

The dozens of builders, developers and designers have upped and left with sources stressing only ‘a few minor tweaks’ need to be carried out before the Rooney’s move into the dream home.

‘Even the road leading to the house has been swept and dusted off. The water and power are on and it is ready’ said a source.

When the removal vans arrive, possibly during their kids’ school half-term break, the Rooneys will be able to enjoy the full luxury of the multi-million pound development of the home which they bought in 2017 for £4 million.

But they will have to contend with increased noise levels and groups of walkers who can ogle the mansion from a public footpath close-by.

Their home – dubbed the ‘Morrisons Mansion’ – due to its similarity to the supermarket chain, is on the flightpath to Manchester Airport with planes flying directly over it, as revealed by MailOnline.

Work ground to a halt for several weeks during lockdown as building materials deliveries stopped during the pandemic.

They had originally pencilled in January of 2020 as their moving in date.
