VIDEO- Why flying is so expensive... LOL

This really puts a different perspective on the cost of boating. At about 0:15 into the video, they tell you what the MPG on an airbus 320 is. :wow::wow: Enjoy.

cool.....

...they should do a video about our energy producers ....Not much % profit for them as well.

Fuel cost, equipment cost, regulatory compliance - would imagine those are significant.

Wonder how the mpg per person mile transported would look like?

It is one of the few industries where they collect the revenue in advance of providing the service or product (sometimes well in advance).

They cover it all in the video. For 154 passengers, it's 104.7 mpg per passenger.

Or 0.67 mpg at a cruising speed of 450 knots, about the same as my 390 cruising at 18 knots.

Ha, I was thinking that fuel burn number was pretty respectable. Plenty of boats on this board that burn the same :grin:
