Airline swipe over Harry and Meghan first-class flight clam

An airline has spoken out after Prince Harry claimed that Meghan bought a first-class ticket from Mexico to the UK for her father. In his new memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex alleged that Meghan booked and paid for the ticket through Air New Zealand so that her dad could better avoid press intrusion.

Detailing the incident in his book, Prince Harry stated: "We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain. Now." However, Air New Zealand has denied that Thomas could have flown first from Mexico to the UK through their airline, claiming that such a flight doesn't even exist.

Speaking with the New Zealand Herald, Air New Zealand stated: "We've never had flights between Mexico and the UK. And we only have Business Premier." The airline has also made a dig at Harry and Meghan through its Twitter account, with a tweet that states: "Introducing #SussexClass. Apparently coming soon," reports The Daily Mirror.
