I'm sure we can easily agree that 'being considered a hypocrite' is different from 'being a hypocrite', no? Sure, I obviously understand that you consider her a hypocrite. However, to do this you have to assume that she doesn't really hold the views she professes to hold, e.g. that flying is bad. Yes, if in reality she thought that flying is great, or that flying is great for her but not for everybody else, then she would be a hypocrite--but she'd have to be caught at espousing such views; her actions in flying across the Atlantic, twice, don't show that. However, I don't accuse her of that, because I genuinely have no idea what she really thinks.
Unfortunately, that she flew to the protest is not evidence of hypocrisy. As before, she was perfectly open about that. And again, yes, she was inconsistent, didn't practise what she preaches, etc., but that alone does not amount to hypocrisy. The secrecy is an essential component of hypocrisy. Don't fall for the right-wing press trying to discredit the protest (because that's what's going on with that story).
To add: I could certainly imagine what @hoefla said, that she may well have had business in London, anyway, and if she claimed (somewhat counter-productively) that she only flew in for Extinction Rebellion, then that would have been hypocritical, but I again wouldn't accuse her of that, because I don't know.

I think we just have to agree to differ on the definition of hypocrite (and for the record the OED definition is much broader "Behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case.". I don't believe that secrecy is an essential component of hypocrisy and I think most people would agree.
It would definitely be more hypocritical if she hadn't been open about flying to the protest though.

I genuinely don't think you understand hypocrisy.
Not hiding that you do something doesn't stop you being considered a hypocrite.
If I drove everywhere, then told all my friends they shouldn't drive because it's bad for the environment, they'd still consider me a hypocrite, even if I was open about the fact I was driving everywhere.
