Surely the leader of a G7 nation should have befitting transport. Can you imagine any other world leaders doing this? Apart from anything else there must be huge security implications.

I have a friend who is always being jetted around the world on oil contracts, and he tells me that the only time he ever felt frightened was when he found himself sitting next to Kate Aide !

I think the PM should have his own AF1 like POTUS, it's demeaning to travel thus.

you must of missed my posts at 1029 and 1037. The Queen's Flight is only for deluded socialists. Even the Queen is embarrassed using it nowadays. Where would his Tonyness swanned off to on a Freebie if she still had the Royal Yacht?

R-Cop...I am pretty sure that Betty, Phil and the rest don't come back from distant parts of the world by Easyjet, and neither should our PM.

I don't think any PM should avail themselves of the Queen's Flight for a private holiday.

If Princes William and Harry use Easyjet for private travel why shouldn't David Cameron?

who is betty?

This is such a mind numbingly pointless story it almost defies belief
I'm no lover of Cameron but if he can't travel on a normal flight and have a Pringles or two without us all making a song or dance about it Thrn it just shows what idle empty minds we must all have . No one looks their best when eating as has been shown before, but if you don't ear you die which is worse

Come TTT...keep up !

Actually, if the crew had seen her take the photograph, they would have been quite within their rights to demand that the picture is deleted with a threat of the police meeting the aircraft if she hadn`t. That might sound extreme but it has happened.

[mikey4444]

One aspect of this is what about all the security officers that a PM needs these days ? Did his close-protection Officer carry his concealed gun onto the plane ?

There are protocols but Easyjet are UK registered aircraft.Arrangements are not a subject for discussion.
