Shashi Tharoor, please note, Prince Harry takes a cheap flight

Prince Harry took a low-cost EasyJet flight back from Edinburgh to London after attending the wedding of his cousin, Zara Phillips, say news reports, though EasyJet refused to confirm whether it was accurate.

According to a report in The Telegraph , Prince Harry spent €16.50 for the one-hour flight.

Hopefully, Prince Harry had a better experience than this fantastic Irish band Fascinating Aida. Take a look at Fascinating Aida and their opinion of cheap flights such as EasyJet.

Closer home, Congress’ (then) blue-eyed boy Shashi Tharoor got into hot water by tweeting about flying economy class. Asked on twitter if he would travel economy class, Tharoor had responded: “Absolutely, in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows!”

The tweet travelled like wildfire, enraging even Tharoor’s collleagues. The Hindu reported: “Faced with a flurry of questions on his ‘tweet,’ Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said the party strongly disapproved of the expression “cattle class.”

Conceding that the term “cattle class” is a commonly used jargon, she said: “But we find it unacceptable because thousands of Indians travel on ordinary class.”

Though Ms Natarajan refused to be drawn into commenting on whether any kind of disciplinary action was being contemplated against Mr Tharoor, she did add that he was perhaps not conscious of the sensitivities since he was “new to Indian politics.”

One wonders what Tharoor would tweet about if he travelled on a low-cost airline as Prince Harry did.
