NEW ORLEANS —
New records obtained by WDSU Investigates show that the flight New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell took to France last month cost over $17,000.

The records and invoices were sent to WDSU through a public records request.

The entire trip cost the city of New Orleans over $43,000.

Cantrell travelled to France to sign a sister city agreement and attend events to promote New Orleans.

The records show the mayor used a company called Going Places Travel to book flights on United and Delta Airlines.

That flight cost the city $17,854.

The mayor flew first class while in the United States, sitting in seat 1E while travelling from New Orleans to Dulles International Airport in Virginia. She then travelled first class again on the return flight back to New Orleans from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, sitting in the first row.
