LONDON, March 24, 2011— -- When Prince Will visited the earthquake-stricken city of Christchurch, it seems he did not travel in style, as one might expect of a prince.

Will and his security team traveled economy class, according the Associated Press.

It was an Air New Zealand Boeing 737 that flew the royal party from Auckland to Christchurch.

Air New Zealand refused to comment. "We don't release details regarding individual customers," a spokesman told the AP.

Prince Will has been received very well on the trip; some girls even asked for his hand in marriage. This will surely only add to his popularity.

Kate needn't worry, though, when one Kiwi lady asked Will to marry him, he reportedly said, sorry, you're too late.

The prince spent five days visiting people in disaster-struck areas of New Zealand and Australia last week.
