Remember this little bit of selflessness?

Mr Johnson is also travelling economy class — although he is likely to get an upgrade from BA — and moving from the £400-a-night hotel booked for Mr Livingstone to a more modest establishment.

Well, it appears that BA weren’t playing along:

“British Airways denied the Mayor an upgrade from his economy seat on the nine-hour overnight flight to the Olympics.

City Hall aides are understood to have requested a move to business class for the Mayor before leaving Heathrow but were turned down. A spokesman for British Airways refused to comment on the request or reveal whether the flight had been full.”

Fictitious reports suggest that the pilot was a disgruntled member of Socialist Action.
