On examination of CBS' numbers, they have been through a spin cycle.
The $95,550 for Secret Service is a $273 per diem per agent. Seventy are estimated to be on this trip.
CBS claims $146,000 is "for the round trip, not counting four to five days' ground time".
The NYT, LAT, and SacBee included how they came up with their published costs. According to them, the Air Force jet Mrs. Obama flew costs $11,351 per hour to operate, meaning a 14-hour round trip would cost $160,000 to $178,000. That does not include the four to five days of ground time, which can be pricey. After every flight, the plane is completely serviced before it goes back into the air.
According to official government documents on the costs of flying and maintaining Air Force One and Two, all of the news organizations' figures have been low-balled. In 2004, it cost taxpayers $60,000 an hour to operate these planes.
