How Airlines Spend Your Airfare
On an airplane carrying 100 passengers, how many customers does it take, on average, to cover the cost of the flight? This is a fine article from the Wall Street Journal. The article breaks down the number of PAX on a typical flight and shows you where the money goes. My bottom line? Don't invest in airline stocks!!!! (online.wsj.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I beleive I remember there was a study or evidence that there is a fuel savings when the aircraft were not flying billboards. Take off the fancy paint job and save some weight thus fuel dollars.
If flight is full then last seat will go for much more money than $160
"fine article" total BS
With an average of less than $160 left over for the airline, I honestly wonder how they get soooooo much money, like enough money to buy new planes and stuff to spend money on.
I guess a lot of $160's , huh? LOL

YYZ-YVR-HNL return: base fare $818.00; taxes, fees, charges $130 approx. for TEN items, including a US Agriculture fee (!) and fuel surcharge of $15. Total $947.87. Flight duration 26 hours total.
It appears that the base fee to Europe doesn't include the cost of fuel!!! The 50% longer flight to Hawaii costs about 4% of the European flight for fuel!!!
