Sir Keir Starmer spent over £60,000 on a trip to watch the Lionesses in the Euros final, despite pledging to cut down on jet use.
The Prime Minister used the Government’s Airbus A321 to fly from London to Zurich in July to arrive in time for the Women’s Euros football final in Basel, where the Lionesses beat Spain on penalties.
The official figures published on Tuesday night showed the one-night trip cost £60,130, including hotels for the Prime Minister, his wife Victoria and 10 officials from Downing Street.
Whilst in opposition, Rachel Reeves pledged to clamp down on official use of government planes in a bid to "save millions of pounds for taxpayers."
Shadow Cabinet Office Minister and Tory MP for Kingswinford and South Staffordshire Mike Wood said: "Perhaps it’s because of the Prime Minister’s unpopularity that he seeks to find relevance so far afield.
"While he’s rarely seen on home soil, taxpayers are being asked to foot a £60,000 bill for a one-night football trip on the government jet.
"At a time when families are tightening their belts, this kind of jet-setting looks completely out of touch and reinforces why people are switching off from him. It is time for Labour to get a grip on their spending and on their governance."
A spokesman for Downing Street said: "It was a very important moment for the nation – [the Lionesses’] victory was not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country.
"It was right the PM was there to watch this historic win."

Inflation FALLS to 3.2% in win for economy and Rachel Reeves
The consumer price index (CPI) rate of inflation for November has fallen to 3.2 per cent, from 3.8 per cent, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
This comes as welcome relief to Chancellor Rachel Reeves who has been forced to contend with a slip in gross domestic product (GDP) growth and a rise in unemployment over the past week.
Notably, the fall to 3.2 per cent marks the lowest CPI rate since March of this year and a bigger drop than the 3.5 per cent that most economists were expecting for the month.

Five by-elections are set to take place across the country, as a recent YouGov poll outlined current Westminster voting intentions - and it is pretty viewing for Reform.
The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Labour and Reform are all looking to defend at least one seat this week.
Nigel Farage will be hoping to continue the momentum that has seen Reform's Westminster voting intention grow by one percentage point, reaching 28 per cent - a far cry from Labour and the Tories who languish at 18 and 17 per cent respectively.
From Blackpool to Cornwall, GB News has taken a closer look at this week's local by-elections taking place.
