Full title.......................His and Hers jets, paid for with YOUR tax dollars: Melania adds another $100,000 to Trump's massive travel tab as she flies separately to Mar-a-Lago with Barron........................Melania Trump flew separately to join President Trump for a long Easter weekend at Mar-a-Lago, getting the chance for some quality family time – while also contributing to her husband's growing taxpayer-paid travel tab.
The first lady arrived in West Palm Beach Thursday on a government aircraft – the military version of a Boeing 757, about 6:30pm, just minutes before her husband landed on Air Force One.
Vice President Mike Pence took the same plane Melania used to a conference in Munich earlier this year.
The first lady lives at Trump Tower with her and the president's son, Barron, whose private school in New York is off this week for spring break.
The per-hour cost of operating the plane is $15,846, meaning the total trip cost was at least $100,000.

Don’t remember ay comments from any of the media about those trips by Obama including the one he took to the UK bringing with him 5000 guests.

I think he just doesn’t want to be in the White House 24x7. Can’t say I blame him.
BFD. The first family won’t run up near the cost the last one did on travel freebies
What was the cost to send AF1 back to get the dog for the trip to Hawaii?
You are onto something. I wouldn’t trust my government housing either
Seems to me I remember Mooch flew to Spain or Africa with half the WH staff.
