Promises about Transportation on GOP Pledge-O-Meter

Boehner will fly commercial

As Speaker of the House, John Boehner vowed that he will continue to fly commercial rather than military planes.

"But over the last 20 years, I have flown back and forth to my district on commercial aircraft, and I'm going to continue to do that."
