Top executives live well at Denver International Airport.

Nine of them recently flew roundtrip to Madrid in first class and business class racking up thousands and thousands in air fares, including a $19,000 ticket. Another fare cost almost $16,000.

"Our policy allows us to do that," DIA chief Phillip Washington, one of the nine, told CBS 4, which uncovered the gold-plated travel itinerary. 

"Those costs may seem high; they are an investment in our people," Washington said. "We sent who we sent, and they are going to pay dividends as we build out this infrastructure." 

If that's so, why did the DIA terminal renovation take so long - and cost so much?

A travel consultant quoted by CBS 4 said he was in "shock, disbelief" to learn of the jumbo fares.
