It's economy, stupid

In times of financial crunchery, it's a case of all hands on deck. We're in this together, so we all need to do our bit to watch those pennies and spend wisely. Clearly no stranger to frugality, Prince William has also been feeling the pinch, and has asked staff to book him on economy class flights.

According to a senior courier quoted in the Telegraph over the weekend, '...his default position from now on will be to turn right when he enters an aircraft.' I'm not sure how that works on helicopters (since his position references aircraft, and not just aeroplanes) but good for him.

Apparently, William is 'acutely aware that this is no time for ostentatious expenditure'. Which is good to hear, as he and Kate were actually in the process of jetting off to Courchevel when this story broke. Maybe Bognor was all booked up?
