Hey, this may be a publicity stunt but it is funny.

easyJet has offered the Pope free flights between Rome and London in an attempt to reduce the cost of his UK visit, which is estimated to cost the UK tax payer in excess of £20million.

According to easyJet’s website: The airline has contacted the Holy Press Office in Rome to extend the invitation and is currently awaiting a response.

How long before someone offers the Vatican free car hire, or free shuttle services?
