The airfare suggests First Class travel — if that is so, was it necessary?
The whole trip was unnecessary. The Minister knows nothing about economics or FinTech.
Is there any other class of flying for Ministers and above?
Yes, but I hesitate to say it lest the PLP Government start spending even more money on travel.
