For Paul, travel to home state has been largely first class at 5:37 pm
Paul, whose distrust of big government is the centerpiece of his presidential campaign, uses the more expensive government rate for Continental Airlines when buying his tickets. Paul chose not to buy the cheaper economy tickets at a fraction of the price because they aren’t refundable or as flexible for scheduling, his congressional staff said.
