That's my bet. Anyone in the know what to tell me if that's close? You can divide that by the available seat miles and multiply it by a given distance. Just rough idea.

Use these numbers if anyone has a excel spreadsheet out:

So, if we cost $1,800,000,000.00 and we have 194,000,000,000 available seat miles. If you divide that out its $0.0093/mile or on a 500 mile trip $4.84. That seems off though. I'm beat, sorry.


The number you come up with is for 1 seat. Assume a 737-800 and you need to mutliply by 160 which yields:

$744 for a 500 mile flight - which seems in the ballpark.
