Most people are used to taking commercial flights, but when your dad is a famous movie star, you get to travel in private jets.

And Tom Cruise certainly spoiled his 17-year-old son Connor by taking him on a private helicopter as he continued his promotional tour in the States.

Connor accompanied his famous father as he promoted his latest film Jack Reacher in New York, and joined him on a helipad as they left their hotel on Wednesday.

Tom has been busy promoting his latest action film, which has seen him travel to London, Sweden and most recently, New York.

Wit his son by his side, he jetted out of the Big Apple, but made a pit stop in Pittsburgh before continuing his journey to Los Angeles.

Connor took to Twitter to write about his tour with dad, saying: ‘NYC it’s been real… LA bound with a quick stop in Pittsburg.’

His new film takes place in Pittsburgh, so it was only appropriate the actor would stop by a special screening in the city.

‘I just really want to thank you all very much because you can’t make a movie unless you have the help of the community. I wish you a very merry Christmas and best of New Year,’ he told his fans there, before going back home to Los Angeles.

Tom is gearing up to spend his first Christmas as a single man since his divorce from ex-wife Katie Holmes earlier this year.
