Hundreds of newly released documents detail lavish spending and bloated expense accounts submitted by at least four top executives of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority between July 2011 and October 2012. Obtained by the Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act, the documents detail expense accounts that topped $10,000, including one $12,000 flight by a vice president purchased a week before an industry conference, an event which is usually planned months or even years in advance. Other reimbursed expenditures included platters of oysters in New Orleans and $13.50 for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream.

Nobody has been fired for milking the system or even for violating MWAA policies by booking hotels and airfare before their trips were approved or for failing to produce receipts for meals and other expenses.
