New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell will be traveling to the city of Los Angeles this weekend for the unveiling of the "New Orleans Corridor."

Sources tell WDSU because the flight was booked late, Cantrell will be flying first-class to California




quote:

The source told WDSU Investigates that first-class was the only seat available on the trip, and that Cantrell paid the additional $130 to cover the cost of the upgrade to first-class from the economy ticket.


Wink wink "sources"

quote:

WDSU Investigates reached out to the mayor's office asking about the trip but have yet to hear back.

TEEDy ain't got time fo dat

So let me get this straight. On a sold out flight it only cost $130 to upgrade to first class?

This wouldn’t be that difficult to verify with the airline

There is no way economy is sold out with first wide open. I fly 50-100 flights a year and I've never seen that.

I've seen first be sold out though.

Only New Orleans residents can do it so someone here needs to volunteer

United will show you the seat map for any flight. I could probably get one for Delta if I knew the flight number. AA/Alaska is harder to get.

$130 for a first class upgrade on a last minute booked flight? LMAO. NO way in hell.

A flight in mid July from Nola to LA is $367 for basic economy and $847 for first class.

Well, she did say she has anxiety

Also, said it’s because she is a black woman and it’s safer for her to fly first class

She's just straight trolling the OT at this point. Even for a politician, she just doesn't give a frick.

Nobody is going to do a fricking thing about it, and everyone knows it. They may as well just give her carte blanche. WDSU Investigates is wasting their time. It’s already been shown that the idiots who put her there are not going to remove her.
