Rich wood paneling, couches with plush silk pillows, flat-screen TVs and a Terminator-style bobblehead of grandpa on the dashboard - Donald Trump's rising-star granddaughter, Kai, is giving the world an eye-opening glimpse of how the president-elect gets around in style.
The eldest daughter of the former president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., 17-year-old Kai Trump recently joined her father and grandpa on a recent trip to Brownsville, Texas, to watch 'Uncle Elon' Musk's recent SpaceX rocket launch.
But along the way, the teen documented the high-flying day trip to south Texas in an 11-minute YouTube video this week, pulling back the curtains on some of the most intriguing previously unseen details of her grandfather's famous 'Trump Force One.'
The president-elect purchased the Boeing 757 for $100 million in 2011, though it is decades older than that.
'This is the plane,' Kai says, holding the camera selfie-style. 'Let me give you a tour.'
In the 11-minute video, avid golfer Kai chats it up and dances - including to her grandpa's fave 'YMCA' - with her pal Emma as the pair show off the 43-seater.
Trump had the jet upgraded with 24-carat, gold-plated seat belts, a 2013 documentary revealed, describing it as having 'enough gold that if melted down it could gold-plate the outside of a Greyhound bus'.
And the gold trimmings can be seen everywhere as Kai and her pal roam around the plane.
President-elect Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump (L), and her friend Emma (R), wear matching outfits for a YouTube video giving a behind-the-scenes look at the Republican's plane 'Trump Force One' while documenting their trip visit 'Uncle' Elon Musk's SpaceX launch last week in south Texas

The two can be seen practicing their dance moves and playing games ahead of their arrival to Brownsville, Texas
Initially the friends are shown in a lounge area having some laughs, dancing and talking.
Eventually Kai gets hungry and she disappears before coming back with a plate of fresh fruit including melon and cantaloupe.
In the next shot the camera is angled down as the pair walks down some presumably sensitive areas before revealing one of the wood-paneled hallways with golden carpets.
Then they come on a door open to a nearby bedroom, presumably that of the president-elect.
The presidential suite features what appears to be a king-size bed covered in beige linens with matching pillows featuring the Trump family crest.
The corner of a leather seat can also be seen in the quick peak.

Panning up the camera reveals a bedroom, presumably Donald Trump's, with a plush looking bed with beige bedding and a pillow emblazoned with the Trump family crest
The dazzling jumbo jet is compartmentalized into various sections for guests, aides and the president-elect himself.
Immediately after the clip revealing the bedroom the video cuts to a shot walking down another area where some business-suited Trump confidantes - who's faces are not shown - are sitting toward the front of the plane.
'Hey guys!' Kai cheerfully greets them.
Steps later, the interior of the front of the plane is revealed, showing the plane's front exit door where a doormat also emblazoned with the Trump family seal lays.
Then the camera pans up showing that the cockpit is open allowing Kai and friend to waltz on in.
In the following shots Kai is seen sitting directly behind the pilots flying Trump Force One.
A bobblehead depicting the president-elect in a Terminator-style outfit: black glasses, a black leather jacket, black military-styled pants and black boots, can be seen jiggling on the plane's dashboard.
Kai also buckles up in the cockpit to watch the pilots land Trump Force One in Texas
The Trumpinator bobblehead showing the president-elect wearing an outfit inspired by the movie 'The Terminator' can be seen on the cockpit dashboard
The 'Trumpinator' figurine depicts Trump holding a rifle with red robotic eyes like the Arnold Schwarzenegger character from the 1984 sci-fi flick.
As the plane descends, the camera films the final moments before landing.
'This is pretty cool stuff,' Kai says to the camera as the pilots focus on safely getting back on the ground. 'It's not everyday you get to see a plane landed.'
Automated flight sensors can be heard warning the pilots as the plane safely descends.
'500 ... 100 ... 50 ... 40 ... 30 ... 20 ... 10,' the voice says as the captains bring Trump Force One back to Earth.
Then the camera crew and Kai drive off to watch the SpaceX launch with Musk and grandpa Trump.
Kai's father, Trump Jr., also accompanied the group on the trip and was captured various times throughout the YouTube video.
