‘Frugal’ Queen travels in budget easyJet flight
April 1st, 2010 - 5:10 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 1 (ANI): The Queen certainly knows how to save money.
The monarch took a budget easyJet flight for her trip from Luton to Aberdeen - at a cost to the taxpayer of just 22.99 pounds.
She had minimal security for the trip.
The cut-price flight is cheaper than taking the royal train that costs an estimated 57,142 pounds per journey.
“There was no special treatment. She was one of the crowd,” the Daily Express quoted one passenger as saying.
This comes just weeks after she took a regular train to and from Sandringham in Norfolk for her Christmas break. (ANI)
