The British prime minister resigned recently. Boris Johnson ran back home after hearing the resignation.

Boris Johnson Races Back to the UK in British Airways Economy Class

The ex-prime minister was on the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. He told his allies that he would run to be the next British prime minister.

He got back. The part that is funny is this one.

He went to the airport with his family after cutting his holiday short. He took a British Airways flight to the airport. Boris Johnson and his family sat on seat 34K in the economy section of the plane, which had three cabins without first class.

The fellow passengers said that he and his family were treated as special guests. Skynews correspondent Mark Stone said that.

Several passengers looked “slightly bewildered” and there were a few boos, adding: “Mr Johnson is sitting in economy, quite near the back of the plane, with his wife and children – one of his children climbing on top of him.

“He’s in a suit, his head forward, deep in thought, but moments before that one of his children was climbing on top of him – a family coming back from their holidays.”

He appeared to be uncomfortable with the lack of leg space in the economy class. The British Airways World traveller seat has 31 inches of pitch and 18.6 inches of width. The seat will be too small for Johnson on the 8 hours journey back to London.

Thousands track Boris Johnson’s Flight

The passengers at the airport and the flight tracking community were interested in Johnson's return. The flight that was tracked the most was the one that Johnson returned to.

Boris Johnson’s Decision To Take Economy Class

British Airways operates two flights a week to the Dominican Republic. The load factor is high because it only works twice a week. The business class is sold out and the economy seats are still available.

When Boris Johnson left for the UK, I am sure there would be at least one seat left in business class. He could have taken other airlines with his wealth, like Air France or American Airlines. Why was he seated in economy class?

I believe he was aware of the public sentiment even if he didn't have a seat. He is a servant of the people in the United Kingdom.

Boris Johnson became a sensation when it was reported that he flew home on British Airways. After the prime minister resigned, he and his family went back to the UK.

After winning the race, Rishi Sunak became the next British prime minister, but his efforts to get to the UK didn't pay off.
