Still doesn't add up. 200k is a lot of mileage and at just over ten cents a mile there is no way that is even in heavily discounted J. Definitely sloppy reporting. He might be sitting in business class but he isn't paying for it. The roll call thread here on FT puts most people at less than half that for a similar spend. To me it looks like a reporter conflating business travel with business class and we all know they don't have the same meaning.

When a reporter doesn't get the simple things right I get annoyed. Not a fan of the Huffington Post era of 'news'.
