Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has flown on at least 24 flights through private charter planes since May, costing taxpayers more than $300,000 in travel expenses, according to a report Thursday.

Many of the flights were between cities where there is frequent and low-cost airline traffic. For example, Price visited Nashville on June 6 from Washington. Instead of taking one of four regular nonstop flights from Washington airports for a flight as low as $202 via Orbitz.com, Price’s charter with Classic Air Charter cost $17,760, Politico reported.
