Last Word: British Prime Minister Tony Blair In Coach

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, passengers aboard a no-frills Ryan Air flight on Saturday from Rome to London were probably a bit surprised to find out who a fellow traveler was. It was British Prime Minister Tony Blair! Blair was returning home from a vacation in Tuscany and meetings with Italy`s prime minister and the pope. Blair has drawn fire in the British press recently for using expensive government planes for holiday trips abroad. Ryan Air didn`t give details on how much he and his entourage of seven others paid for the tickets. But Paul, a search of Ryan Air`s web site turned up tickets on that route selling for about $25.

KANGAS: I`ll bet you his quarters in Tuscany were a lot more than that, Susie. GHARIB: You`re probably right about that.
