Treasury Secretary isn't flying first class these days. Maybe he will be forgiven for not paying his taxes on time.

Washington post also reports that "two weeks ago, Susan Rice, soon after she was confirmed to be President Obama's ambassador to the United Nations, was spotted riding in coach on a morning Delta shuttle from Washington to New York."

Are they going to all fly coach when traveling on taxpayers' dime? We shall see.

Coach or Business, or First Class makes no difference to me as long as they are no flying in some lobbiests private jet.

Setting an example by flying coach is a start. That way Geithner gets a little taste of what the average person deals with on a plane (though I assume he doesn't have to wait in line like the rest of us). Now let's see Congress agree to take whatever public option health plan they cook up.
