In the clip, which has been viewed more than 2.3 million times, the 57-year-old explains that the plane layout is the perfect place to dine on caviar and sip champagne.
For viewers who have experienced these thoughts, Jackie says she has the “solution” for them.
Moving on to the unusual living room element, she says, “I have the private jet experience right here in my living room, so I can enjoy my first-class caviar exclusively here, in the comfort of my own home.”
She gives viewers a step-by-step guide on how to best eat caviar, explaining, “I'm going to give a little caviar experience.
'You get a pancake, a little crème fraîche. You can obtain these in the dairy department at your gourmet [stores]. And of course a little caviar.'
Jackie recommends finishing the stately stack with “a little onion and of course a little champagne on the side.”
After posting the video, she was criticized by viewers, with many calling her out for being “out of touch” with the real world.
One commenter wrote, “Jackie, I had to move back in with my mom because I can barely afford a car payment and insurance.”
Another unimpressed viewer said: 'No, no, I didn't. Have you ever had one of those days where you wanted to support a small business so they could pay their rent?”

The American socialite was featured in a 2012 documentary called The Queen Of Versailles, a nod to the mansion built by her husband, David, and herself in Windermere, Florida
Jackie, pictured with her family, says she would 'love to travel privately and eat caviar every day', but her husband disagrees
In response to the backlash, Jackie explained in a follow-up video that she had the plane installed at her home as part of a party she was hosting in memory of her daughter Victoria, who died in 2015 after a drug overdose.
The footage shows movers installing the plane in Jackie's sprawling mansion, and the accompanying caption explains that her first TikTok was done for fun and not meant seriously.
The mum-of-seven said: 'I have a TikTok account but I don't promote it much, the kids and I mainly use it for fun videos.
“This week I posted about a private jet rig we used for an event. I thought it was a funny video, but I think people are taking it the wrong way. Although I would love to travel privately and eat caviar every day, David disagrees! LOL.
'What bothers me most is that I think some people thought I was fooling them, which couldn't be further from the truth.
“Growing up in Binghamton, my family didn't have much, and I worked all my life. I never thought I would have the life I have now and I am so grateful for it and never take it for granted.
'I am the happiest woman in the world because of my husband, children and parents. My heart breaks for those who are struggling right now, and David and I are trying to help as much as we can. I would never make light of people's struggles, please know that.
“Every time I do an event for Victoria it can bring up a lot of emotions for me, and they have brightened the day for me.”
As the family continues to mourn the loss of their daughter, they have dedicated the rest of their lives to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic.
The couple also said they plan to welcome guests from around the world in the future for a grand opening fundraiser at their Florida mansion in Victoria's honor when construction is complete.
The home, modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France, is valued at more than $100 million, according to Jackie.
They started the project in 2004, but it stalled after David's company was hit by the failing economy. It was previously expected to be ready in 2016.
The unfinished home sits on 10 acres of lakefront land and will feature 11 kitchens, 30 bathrooms, a 30-car garage, a two-lane bowling alley, an indoor roller skating rink, three indoor pools, two outdoor pools, video arcade, ballroom, two movie theaters multi-storey modeled after the Paris Opera, a fitness center with a 10,000 square meter spa, yoga studios, a 20,000 bottle wine cellar and an exotic fish aquarium.
The grounds will include two tennis courts, a baseball diamond and a formal garden.
Jackie's husband David, 88, is the billionaire founder of the timeshare company Westgate Resorts.
He has an empire of 28 resorts across the country, and also owns the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino, the Cocoa Beach Pier and the Orlando Predators Arena League Football team.
