London Mayor Sadiq Khan who kicked off his six-day tour of North America, turned down an upgrade to first class on his British Airways flight to Montreal as revealed by the flight captain. It was known that Khan was offered to be moved from his premium economy seat but had politely turned it down.

It was later known that he didn't feel he could leave behind the rest of his team and make the most of the luxury. The news soon caught the better side of Twitter as many prompted tweets asking why he didn't opt to sit on the floor, like Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
