JLo's economy plane trip was said to be a 'savvy' move to prove she's not wasting money on a 'lavish lifestyle.'
According to the source, the Jenny From the Block singer feels she's been given a bad rap after being labeled the "difficult one" in her marriage to the Oscar winner.
J Lo is said to be frustrated with how she's been presented in the media "since Ben's actually got the attitude problem and always has a dark cloud hanging over his head, even when things are going great," the source explained to us.

Insiders note it's Ben who always has a 'dark cloud' hanging over him, even in good times.
The stress of the split and filming his latest action flick, The Accountant 2, has the Boston-born hunk especially irritable and "alienating everyone around him," the insider alleged.
"Getting a smile or a laugh out of him is basically impossible when he's in this grumpy, irritable mode," the mole revealed. "It's probably not a wise decision for him to keep working while all these headlines are coming out about his personal life."
"You just want to tell the guy to go take a month off and focus on relaxing and recharging."
