Flying from NZ to LA return just 5 years ago was $2200. Now it's $899 thanks to American Airlines, Qantas etc. we only had 1 air travel company until now.
Here's what I don't understand: How come cruises are so cheap? They have the many of the same costs as airlines (big company, crew costs, taxes), but 3 days on a cruise with unlimited food, entertainment, housing, and more, can cost the same as a 12-hour flight.
If you look up the economic principle of "economies of scale" that will answer this. More people=lower costs. Also, in a lot of cases the alcohol isn't included which makes up a lot of the cost
cruise ships are generally cheaper per person, exempot from ALOT of taxes, port costs are cheaper than landing fees in alot of cases, cruise ships also run on slimey fuel oil, airliners run on practically baby oil!
@@rachaeljuddx Cabin crew are seen performing passenger service, but that's just a small part of their role. They are also charged with a host of safety-of-flight and emergency actions that most passengers either don't notice or, thankfully, never have to see.
Most pilots make more than the quoted figure. The Captain of a major-airline long-haul jet generally makes over $200K, while the Captain of a short-haul budget carrier turboprop might start at around $50K. The difference is training, experience, and level of responsibility. The average gets driven by the fact that there a lot more short-haul pilots.
WAIT... 317 gallons of gas is 49 trips from NY to LA? That's 6.46 gallons of gas to drive from NY to LA? That's about 429 MPG? Seriously? Where do I buy this god-send camry?
+Wendoverproductions Also your 47 times from NY to Cali is wrong. 317 gallons * 42 MPG highway =13314 miles. NY to LA = about 2800 miles. It equals 4.7 times from NY to LA
Peak time travel by train from where I live to London (about 150 miles) would cost me £205 return, or 68 pence per mile. Return air fare from London to New York (3,470 miles) would cost me £350 return, or 5 pence per mile. So if you think air fares are expensive, you should try train travel in Britain.
+rbagel55 Yep. I remember a few years ago, after the latest hike in rail fares, somebody on the television news saying that it would be cheaper for them to catch a plane down from the Midlands, to London, where they worked.
Leslie Dellow That doesn't make sense. I wonder if the same is happening in France or Germany? Don't know-I'm an American from San Antonio TX and wish we had HS rail here, they talk how much cheaper it is over air fare. But I read you comment and I wonder why
+rbagel55 Twenrty or more years ago now, the railways in Britain were denationalised. But they still need large Government subsidies to keep them afloat, and, now that they have got shareholders, that subsidy effectively goes straight into shareholder's pockets. If they are not commercially viable, they should be nationalised, and Government money should be used infrastructure, and keeping the fares down - not for making shareholders rich. So far as I know, no other European country has followed our insane example.
Leslie Dellow I don't think so. Several years ago, I did a trip to Europe, rode the TGV in France, the ICE in Gemany and Austria. Didn't quite make it to the UK, but I was told by another passenger that trains there don't travel the speeds they do in France, well because this person said that the UK lacks LGV or dedicated high speed rail, so speeds are limited to like 100 MPH. Well still better than here in the USA. Supposedly a bill has been passed to build 17500 miles of dedicated high speed rail, connecting all major US cities by 2030. Funny thing is I live in San Antonio TX, and I work out of town often, and I see nothing being built, no progress report available on the web. I understand that in countries like France is one of the reason for their affordable fare is the abundance of cheap electricity from nuclear power. Well the problem here is we haven't built any new nuclear power stations since the 70's due to the 3 mile Island incident. So I am wondering what the benifit of have such a system would be for us-that is having nothing but old polluting and somewhat expensive gas turbine and coal fired plants. Probably not much-carbon footprint would the same!
1.) Flying is cheap. 2.) Fuel is way too cheap. 3.) The small pay gap between flight attendants and pilots is insulting to pilots. 4.) Airports charging by the pound is a racket.
I'm saying that the skill level and experience differences in the two jobs are significant but the pay doesn't reflect that. Some first officers make less then flight attendants. That makes no sense.
Bailey Davis You're forgetting that the flight attendants are also schooled in crew management and safety procedures up to the EASA/FAA standards and honestly, all the pilots do these days is just set the end point and do the comms and the plane does the rest mostly.
Not really. You're constantly monitoring the controls and you are not allowed to take your hands off the flight controls. Plus when an emergency happens the pilots are the ones that are tasked with all of the work load. Flight attendants aren't tasked with flight planning or controlling an aircraft with over a hundred human lives on board.
I'm going to Japan for $700, and I think thats pretty incredible. If I wanted to do that 100 years ago, I'd have to get to a city like Chicago by horse or car, then a train to San Francisco, then a trans-pacific boat to Japan, a trip that I assume would take a week or two on both sides of my trip. Now I drop some cash and can do it in half a day.
I never realized that operating an airplane was so expensive to the airline itself. Here I was thinking airlines were making like $100 per person for the $150 flight.
+steprockmedia The airlines are incredibly deregulated compared to what they used to be. The government used to tell you what routes you could service and how much you could charge. that is why flying today is cheaper than it was back in the 60s and 70s.
Delta is 11% net, American is 7% net, United is 8%. This is net, after taxes, fat salaries and bonuses for the board etc. Alaska operating profit margin is a whopping 23%! Where are these 2.5% profit margin airlines you talk about? Going through many non-US airlines, almost none had profit margins as high.
I'm glad how you explained how flying isn't actually that expensive at the end of the video, and compared it to a car. It's actually cheaper AND FASTER for me to get a plane from London Heathrow to Manchester airport than it is to get a frikking train. Trains are expensive!

It is expensive in the USA. In the vast majority of Europe it is very affordable, being quite often cheaper than bus or car (and always a huge lot cheaper than train)
+SuperPSTutorials I live in the Czech Rep. My wage is little above 20,000 CZK which is around average here. Right now, one return ticket from Prague to Rome starts from 4,000 CZK (without baggage).
+Ondrus21 true. I'm Spanish and wages aren't good here either, but if you live in France (minimum wage around 1500 euro) or Germany (no minimum but average is quite good) flying across Europe is quite cheap. And comparing how prices have evolved through the last 15 years, now it seems a bargain compared to what we had
+Gonzalo del Moral I don't know about Spain, but I can say the best times to live in the Czech Rep. were some time during the 1990s. Less unemployed people, better conditions at work, higher living standard (wages/prices ratio) and much better freedom. I would return in time.
Train journeys are much more environmental-friendly over the same distance though. Also you have to take into account that in countries with a well-developed rail and train system (e.g. Germany) train journeys are actually cheaper than plane flights.
+Gempowerment I can assure you they are not. I lived in Germany and train trips are very expensive. Planes are extremely cheap in europe. I love trains and when I made a trip to europe I had to go by plane because of the cost and the time. Imagine, if you live in the US and you pay 333 dollars to cross the entire country which is the size of europe. You can go about anywhere in europe with 100 euros by plane.
Douglas I currently live in Germany and train is usually cheaper, at least within the country (Berlin - Munich for example). Of course train journeys take longer but the ecological effect makes up for it imo
+Gempowerment Trains are better than planes in everything. Comfort, facility to go in and out, not horrible smell like airports, look better, feel better and yes, its much better for environment. But they are expensive. If for you is different that is great. In my experience and also friends that I know, usually go by plane due to cost. Competition on air travel is a lot higher than trains as well.
+Douglas i love trains im travelling to Europe and im trying to replace the plane for the train, and i discovered its cheaper because although plane fees may be cheaper, you have to take two taxis from the city to the airport and from the airport to the city and taxis are not cheap at all. The train instead departures drom a station near the city center and arrives to a ststion near the city center, you save a lot of money in taxis or remises.
+RandomAsianGuy Nationalised railways were a complete joke. You're probably too young to remember. Yes trains aren't great in this country, but they are a million times better than they were when I was growing up in the early 1980's. What you forget about the railways is we have one of the worlds oldest networks, costs are huge.
+Spencer Wilton yeah but that was because it was so poorly funded not because it was national I mean look at Germany France and other European countries their rail is like 10 x better than ours
Spencer Wilton They may be better than before but we don't seem to be keeping up with the rest of the world! Even though England is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and everyone wants to come here.
4:56 In my experience, large long haul planes are generally in in outwardly better shape than small short haul planes from a passenger's perspective. 747s and 777s are generally cleaner, and nicer looking inside than 737s, A320s, or smaller which tend (a lot of the time though not always) to have scuffed up or discolored interior panels, scratched up windows, leftover trash, or visible damage to the interior (seats, tray tables, et al) that they haven't gotten around to fixing. I feel like airlines generally take better care of their large widebodies vs their smaller narrowbodies.
I just flew across the atlantic. The two way flight cost me 860 dollars (I added luxury seats for another 300 dollars -- which is pure profit for the airline in comparison). The 860 dollars fly me 12000 kilometer. That is 0,072 cents a kilometer. That is far cheaper than my car or even public transport in the form of trains or busses can deliver. I think it's staggering how affordable flying is/has become. I often drive from Holland to The UK that costs me 1 tank of gas at say 56 dollars. It costs with a good deal 68 dollars on ferry costs. Then I have the wear on my car, the snacks you need to buy on the road (afterall door to door its 7-9 hours). So it will cost me easily 130 dollars/euros. A plane return ticket when booked in advance will cost me as low as 40 dollars. WIth airport taxes 80 dollars. And I am in London in around 3 hours (including waiting times and transfer times). What carriers do is amazing! And great value for money
+luke skywalker That's not what he's saying. He's just remarking at how cheap flying is now, compared to how much it was. He's not saying "oh, I could just drive my car across the ocean instead of flying", he's just using ground transportation for reference.
luke skywalker *facepalm* comprehensive reading is hard, hey?! It's just a reference showing how cheap air fair is compared to even driving. Even when I fly from Amsterdam to London (which I can totally drive and often do) flying is far cheaper. Even Amsterdam to Munich which we do a lot and there';s no need for a shuttle or a fairy and even then flying is cheaper. Which is insane! Seeing the overhead they have compared to just a car. Oh and Amsterdam New York by ship only takes 6 days!
+kylen1487 The US could get rid of it and lower the security measures but as soon as the next terror attack on a plane/airport happens people are going to want to have it back anyway.
+Gempowerment but does it really works?? look I don't know who has connections to the 9/11 but I think the US government itself has a big part in it, you can clearly see that they are having an economy itself from that TAX so called 9/11 TAX!!!
Addendum: other modes of transport also competes against airlines, especially high speed rail. It was norm to fly between Shanghai (SHA) and Beijing (PEK) for US$200 a few years ago, but since the opening of Beijing-Shanghai HSR and a US$90 economy class ticket price, airlines, even premium ones like China International or China Eastern, often have to fly this line at $50 or less to compete with the HSR.
I may have missed it, but I think you forgot the passenger facility charge (PFC) that airports collect from airlines. The PFC rate per passenger as of today is $4.50

Can't forget about how airlines get you there much quicker, whereas in a car, you might need to get a hotel or two depending on the distance you're driving.
Thank you very much for this well researched info. Helps us to appreciate the multitude of departments that works behind the scene for the aviation industry. Much appreciated.
+Wizylt My original script included a section on how budget airlines are able to fly for so cheap but this video was long enough already. I might make a video in the future about that
+Real Engineering Shouldn't you be asleep! Anyways I do the Edinburgh London flight a lot, about twice the distance of NYC to dc, and that's usually 10-20 pounds on ryanair. It'd unbelievable how much cheaper it is in the UK and Europe.
+Wendoverproductions Can't sleep! It's fantastic, Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is about the same cost with AirAsia. My return flights to Bangkok for this weekend were about 50-60 pounds.
+PoisonHeadcrab It is. I routinely used to compare the prices of the train and the two airlines available for domestic flights. Now, I don't bother with the train any more and just book a flight.
+Granny Torrelli actually for the rest of the world, i wonder how where the expenses goes beside teachers, staff and chair & desks....................................
what a neat little video perfect for all ages; love how you use visuals and esp music to really keep interest, change mood, and change up the pacing/rhythm of what otherwise would be a load of awesome information nonetheless
Good analysis. This was very interesting to watch! And my son is an airline pilot... So I was rather interested to see you calculated 1800 hours/year for for pilots. Pilots are not allowed to fly more than 1000 hours/year. So the pilot math was a little off.
You made a mistake. You can't drive cross country 49 times on 317 gallons of fuel. You must mean the total amount of fuel (6.400 gallons) that can be carried by the plane.
I flew from Amsterdam to London for 35 euros while the train ride from my home town to amsterdam was 55 euros. Explain me that please and then call plane flghts expensive again?
There are actually only very few seats on the plane sold at that rate, so you will only be able to get that price when you order your tickets way ahead. Airlines are using something called price discrimination to make their profits. While persons like you, who know way ahead that they want to go to a certain place, most times for vacation or something similar, are baited by extremely low fares, those who have to go somewhere on short notice, like almost all non-leisure travelers do, are paying as much as the airline can get out of them. Just check the travel portal of your choice for that Amsterdam - London trip and ask for a departure tomorrow, then you will see what the real price looks like. The cheapest flight I found was to be had at 335,- Euro, and that is already a bargain.
How did you end up paying 55 Euro for a train ride in what is presumably the Netherlands? You can go to anywhere in NL for 25 Euro return if you know where to look, and even standard fare for Maastricht - Amsterdam, one of the longest possible travels, is around 25 per way. Unless you came from outside NL, but then I wonder how Schiphol ended up being your best option.
He actually made another video explaining that. And the answer is basically cutting costs everywhere, cutting back on staff training, mini sizing cabin comfort, and landing at airports far away from your original destination. So basically, you are paying to travel like cattle.
I'd also add that the airline may not pay cash for an airplane. Large corps usually finance capital expenditures with loans. So you'd have to add interest payments on those plane purchases as well.
Not sure exactly how TSA is funded but seems less unreasonable/unnecessary than some of the taxes/fees. Of course the TSA has its problems. And referring to the fee in terms of "9/11" is silly, because there isn't a lot of evidence suggesting that TSA would be effective at preventing a similar attack.
+Antony Booth Actually, lack of competition was back in the days before deregulation. Though there were more airlines, they didn't have to compete by dropping prices. All prices were mandated by the government...and a lot more expensive than they are today.
I disagree that flying is all that expensive. Actually, its probably cheaper now than its ever been. My mother came to this country in 1948 from Athens, Greece via a propeller airplane. The cost of the ticket was $650. Adjust for inflation, that come to over $6,400 in coach. Add to the fact that the plane made six stops and took some thirty-six hours to make the journey. Air travel may not be that comfortable, but it is fast and relatively cheap.
Must be different in the States. In the UK it you can fly from England to Scotland for £46. But the same journey by train costs £147. UK trains must run on gold dust or something
Most of what gets sold to us as security is window dressing. We screen only for those things that have been used in the past to threaten the flight, which of course anyone desiring to cause harm would already know what's going to be checked, so he would attempt something else--something for which we don't screen. The Israelis screen in some of the same ways the US does, but on top of that they have always known and practiced the most efficient and most effective means of assuring security: passenger profiling. Of course, modern SJW society won't tolerate that.
"That's amazing..." lol you sound so bored when you say this. Going back and rewatching these makes me realize just how far your channel has come along. Not to mention how seldom you mention Toyota Camrys :>. That's not to say these older videos are no good. They're still very good.
Just to correct you at 6:53 This is GPU not APU GPU is provided by the airport or a separate company but the APU is actually on the tail of the plane and it has more functions than a GPU. Excellent video and very informative Thank you
+Charles Randolph LOL you must have money to burn. First class you pay hundreds of dollars more if not more for a slightly more comfortable chair to sit in for about 6 hours and slightly better but still shitty airline food. For that price you can treat yourself to 5* restaurant and a day at spa or resort of some sort.
Aren't many Airlines just leasing the Plane? Somehow I can't imagine, that so many airlines can afford planes like the Airbus A380-800 for 432,6 Mio. $ each.
+ThatMakesSense No, he's right a lot of aircraft are leased. Just like cars, there are airplane dealers too. You can go directly to Boeing or airbus and say hey id like 1 airplane please. But an airline could also shop around. Youd be surprised how many aircraft are leased. It makes sense to lease, as airplanes do in fact depreciate in value too.
+musicISlyf1 You can lease an airplane from another airline as well or one airline's pilots can fly for another's (Lufthansa pilots flying for Germanair is a well-known ex.)
Great analysis of the fuel cost per passenger. Also, the airlines carry mail and cargo for people other than their passengers, so the cost per total value of transport is even lower.

Leslie Dellow I don't think so. Several years ago, I did a trip to Europe, rode the
TGV in France, the ICE in Gemany and Austria. Didn't quite make it to the UK, but I was told by another passenger that trains there don't travel the speeds they do in France, well because this person said that the UK lacks LGV or dedicated high speed
rail, so speeds are limited to like 100 MPH.
Well still better than here in the USA.
Supposedly a bill has been passed to build
17500 miles of dedicated high speed rail, connecting all major US cities by 2030.
Funny thing is I live in San Antonio TX, and I work out of town often, and I see nothing being
built, no progress report available on the web.
I understand that in countries like France is
one of the reason for their affordable fare is
the abundance of cheap electricity from
nuclear power. Well the problem here is
we haven't built any new nuclear power stations since the 70's due to the 3 mile Island incident. So I am wondering what the
benifit of have such a system would be for us-that is having nothing but old polluting
and somewhat expensive gas turbine and coal fired plants. Probably not much-carbon footprint would the same!

1.) Flying is cheap.
2.) Fuel is way too cheap.
3.) The small pay gap between flight attendants and pilots is insulting to pilots.
4.) Airports charging by the pound is a racket.
Yup a flying waitress or waiter as well as a personal service makes $6 per hour less then the actual pilots. Makes sense...
Saying a flight attendant is just a flying waitress is like saying the pilots are just bus drivers.
I'm saying that the skill level and experience differences in the two jobs are significant but the pay doesn't reflect that. Some first officers make less then flight attendants. That makes no sense.
Bailey Davis You're forgetting that the flight attendants are also schooled in crew management and safety procedures up to the EASA/FAA standards and honestly, all the pilots do these days is just set the end point and do the comms and the plane does the rest mostly.
Not really. You're constantly monitoring the controls and you are not allowed to take your hands off the flight controls. Plus when an emergency happens the pilots are the ones that are tasked with all of the work load. Flight attendants aren't tasked with flight planning or controlling an aircraft with over a hundred human lives on board.
I'm going to Japan for $700, and I think thats pretty incredible. If I wanted to do that 100 years ago, I'd have to get to a city like Chicago by horse or car, then a train to San Francisco, then a trans-pacific boat to Japan, a trip that I assume would take a week or two on both sides of my trip. Now I drop some cash and can do it in half a day.
I never realized that operating an airplane was so expensive to the airline itself. Here I was thinking airlines were making like $100 per person for the $150 flight.
+Elijah Masquelier The airline business is weird in that a 2.5% profit margin is considered good.
+Michael That sounds like a lousy ROI, considering the cost, regulation, and inherent complexity. I'd expect my $80 ticket to profit at least 20%
+steprockmedia The airlines are incredibly deregulated compared to what they used to be. The government used to tell you what routes you could service and how much you could charge. that is why flying today is cheaper than it was back in the 60s and 70s.
Free market would not allow such a huge profit margin.
Delta is 11% net, American is 7% net, United is 8%. This is net, after taxes, fat salaries and bonuses for the board etc. Alaska operating profit margin is a whopping 23%! Where are these 2.5% profit margin airlines you talk about?
Going through many non-US airlines, almost none had profit margins as high.
It would be very informative if you can make video about companies like WizzAir where we can get very cheap tickets.

I'm glad how you explained how flying isn't actually that expensive at the end of the video, and compared it to a car. It's actually cheaper AND FASTER for me to get a plane from London Heathrow to Manchester airport than it is to get a frikking train. Trains are expensive!

It is expensive in the USA. In the vast majority of Europe it is very affordable, being quite often cheaper than bus or car (and always a huge lot cheaper than train)
+Gonzalo del Moral What is and what is not expensive always depends on income.
+Ondrus21 I recently travelled to north africa (morocco) and back from london for 50 bucks. So that's not really that much no matter how poor you are.
+SuperPSTutorials I live in the Czech Rep. My wage is little above 20,000 CZK which is around average here. Right now, one return ticket from Prague to Rome starts from 4,000 CZK (without baggage).
+Ondrus21 true. I'm Spanish and wages aren't good here either, but if you live in France (minimum wage around 1500 euro) or Germany (no minimum but average is quite good) flying across Europe is quite cheap. And comparing how prices have evolved through the last 15 years, now it seems a bargain compared to what we had
+Gonzalo del Moral I don't know about Spain, but I can say the best times to live in the Czech Rep. were some time during the 1990s. Less unemployed people, better conditions at work, higher living standard (wages/prices ratio) and much better freedom. I would return in time.
This channel is awesome!
And flying is truly not expensive. Train trips are more expensive.
Train journeys are much more environmental-friendly over the same distance though.
Also you have to take into account that in countries with a well-developed rail and train system (e.g. Germany) train journeys are actually cheaper than plane flights.
+Gempowerment I can assure you they are not. I lived in Germany and train trips are very expensive. Planes are extremely cheap in europe. I love trains and when I made a trip to europe I had to go by plane because of the cost and the time. Imagine, if you live in the US and you pay 333 dollars to cross the entire country which is the size of europe. You can go about anywhere in europe with 100 euros by plane.
Douglas I currently live in Germany and train is usually cheaper, at least within the country (Berlin - Munich for example). Of course train journeys take longer but the ecological effect makes up for it imo
+Gempowerment Trains are better than planes in everything. Comfort, facility to go in and out, not horrible smell like airports, look better, feel better and yes, its much better for environment. But they are expensive. If for you is different that is great. In my experience and also friends that I know, usually go by plane due to cost. Competition on air travel is a lot higher than trains as well.
+Douglas i love trains im travelling to Europe and im trying to replace the plane for the train, and i discovered its cheaper because although plane fees may be cheaper, you have to take two taxis from the city to the airport and from the airport to the city and taxis are not cheap at all. The train instead departures drom a station near the city center and arrives to a ststion near the city center, you save a lot of money in taxis or remises.
So glad you had that little bit about winglets! Very informative and helpful!
why are Britains train tickets to bloody expensive
+ThermoChemicalMissile tory cunts privatising everything that's why
+RandomAsianGuy too right
+RandomAsianGuy Nationalised railways were a complete joke. You're probably too young to remember. Yes trains aren't great in this country, but they are a million times better than they were when I was growing up in the early 1980's. What you forget about the railways is we have one of the worlds oldest networks, costs are huge.
+Spencer Wilton yeah but that was because it was so poorly funded not because it was national I mean look at Germany France and other European countries their rail is like 10 x better than ours
Spencer Wilton They may be better than before but we don't seem to be keeping up with the rest of the world! Even though England is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and everyone wants to come here.

4:56 In my experience, large long haul planes are generally in in outwardly better shape than small short haul planes from a passenger's perspective. 747s and 777s are generally cleaner, and nicer looking inside than 737s, A320s, or smaller which tend (a lot of the time though not always) to have scuffed up or discolored interior panels, scratched up windows, leftover trash, or visible damage to the interior (seats, tray tables, et al) that they haven't gotten around to fixing. I feel like airlines generally take better care of their large widebodies vs their smaller narrowbodies.
The title should be: Why flying in the US is so expensive...

Ha look up flying in Canada. USA is cheap
He’s talking about Europe’s $20 flights, basically need to get the plane back to a popular departure spot so they just fill the plane for cheap.
Reddit moment
Nice work man. Seems you really did your homework on this. I am definitely subscribing. Thanks for taking the time to research all this info.
I just flew across the atlantic. The two way flight cost me 860 dollars (I added luxury seats for another 300 dollars -- which is pure profit for the airline in comparison).
The 860 dollars fly me 12000 kilometer. That is 0,072 cents a kilometer. That is far cheaper than my car or even public transport in the form of trains or busses can deliver.
I think it's staggering how affordable flying is/has become.
I often drive from Holland to The UK that costs me 1 tank of gas at say 56 dollars. It costs with a good deal 68 dollars on ferry costs. Then I have the wear on my car, the snacks you need to buy on the road (afterall door to door its 7-9 hours).
So it will cost me easily 130 dollars/euros.
A plane return ticket when booked in advance will cost me as low as 40 dollars. WIth airport taxes 80 dollars. And I am in London in around 3 hours (including waiting times and transfer times).
What carriers do is amazing! And great value for money
+luke skywalker That's not what he's saying. He's just remarking at how cheap flying is now, compared to how much it was. He's not saying "oh, I could just drive my car across the ocean instead of flying", he's just using ground transportation for reference.
luke skywalker *facepalm* comprehensive reading is hard, hey?!
It's just a reference showing how cheap air fair is compared to even driving. Even when I fly from Amsterdam to London (which I can totally drive and often do) flying is far cheaper.
Even Amsterdam to Munich which we do a lot and there';s no need for a shuttle or a fairy and even then flying is cheaper. Which is insane! Seeing the overhead they have compared to just a car.

Addendum: other modes of transport also competes against airlines, especially high speed rail. It was norm to fly between Shanghai (SHA) and Beijing (PEK) for US$200 a few years ago, but since the opening of Beijing-Shanghai HSR and a US$90 economy class ticket price, airlines, even premium ones like China International or China Eastern, often have to fly this line at $50 or less to compete with the HSR.
I may have missed it, but I think you forgot the passenger facility charge (PFC) that airports collect from airlines. The PFC rate per passenger as of today is $4.50

In Europe flying is the cheapest way of travelling.

Can't forget about how airlines get you there much quicker, whereas in a car, you might need to get a hotel or two depending on the distance you're driving.
Thank you very much for this well researched info.
Helps us to appreciate the multitude of departments that works behind the scene for the aviation industry.

For European this is a weird topic. Flights are way cheaper here.

And my son is an airline pilot... So I was rather interested to see you calculated 1800 hours/year for for pilots. Pilots are not allowed to fly more than 1000 hours/year. So the pilot math was a little off.
I think you mixed up APU and GPU, +Wendoverproductions ! APU sits in the tail of the A/C, GPU sits on the ground!

+Togi Mathews that aside, an apu is not a gpu!
You made a mistake. You can't drive cross country 49 times on 317 gallons of fuel. You must mean the total amount of fuel (6.400 gallons) that can be carried by the plane.
Indeed, with 317 gallons the Camry could only do 4 New Yorks to LAs
Ur dumb that's what he meant
It's why we travel. It's fascinating, you meet so many people, experience so many observations, great food, breathtaking sites, etc
You mean GPU rental. APU is part of the aircraft.
I flew from Amsterdam to London for 35 euros while the train ride from my home town to amsterdam was 55 euros. Explain me that please and then call plane flghts expensive again?
There are actually only very few seats on the plane sold at that rate, so you will only be able to get that price when you order your tickets way ahead. Airlines are using something called price discrimination to make their profits. While persons like you, who know way ahead that they want to go to a certain place, most times for vacation or something similar, are baited by extremely low fares, those who have to go somewhere on short notice, like almost all non-leisure travelers do, are paying as much as the airline can get out of them.
Just check the travel portal of your choice for that Amsterdam - London trip and ask for a departure tomorrow, then you will see what the real price looks like. The cheapest flight I found was to be had at 335,- Euro, and that is already a bargain.
How did you end up paying 55 Euro for a train ride in what is presumably the Netherlands? You can go to anywhere in NL for 25 Euro return if you know where to look, and even standard fare for Maastricht - Amsterdam, one of the longest possible travels, is around 25 per way. Unless you came from outside NL, but then I wonder how Schiphol ended up being your best option.
He actually made another video explaining that. And the answer is basically cutting costs everywhere, cutting back on staff training, mini sizing cabin comfort, and landing at airports far away from your original destination. So basically, you are paying to travel like cattle.
Here from the new jet lag podcast^^
I'd also add that the airline may not pay cash for an airplane. Large corps usually finance capital expenditures with loans. So you'd have to add interest payments on those plane purchases as well.

Not sure exactly how TSA is funded but seems less unreasonable/unnecessary than some of the taxes/fees. Of course the TSA has its problems. And referring to the fee in terms of "9/11" is silly, because there isn't a lot of evidence suggesting that TSA would be effective at preventing a similar attack.

+Antony Booth Actually, lack of competition was back in the days before deregulation. Though there were more airlines, they didn't have to compete by dropping prices. All prices were mandated by the government...and a lot more expensive than they are today.

Flight attendant wages is around $20-$21 per hour these days.
I disagree that flying is all that expensive. Actually, its probably cheaper now than its ever been. My mother came to this country in 1948 from Athens, Greece via a propeller airplane. The cost of the ticket was $650. Adjust for inflation, that come to over $6,400 in coach. Add to the fact that the plane made six stops and took some thirty-six hours to make the journey. Air travel may not be that comfortable, but it is fast and relatively cheap.
+itsmegp46 did you even watch the video
+william19973 Yes I did. I was making a comment against many posts who claim that traveling by air is too expensive.

Sure, but $600 isn't petty cash, either
Its definitely much cheaper than before, but $200 is still a lot of money.
Must be different in the States. In the UK it you can fly from England to Scotland for £46. But the same journey by train costs £147. UK trains must run on gold dust or something
never heard of plane flights under 100
Uk is not much bigger than my state tho (in sq. miles)

Increased airline security has been necessary every since
@@cynthiaholland13 I would argue it was necessary before and people just didn't know
Most of what gets sold to us as security is window dressing. We screen only for those things that have been used in the past to threaten the flight, which of course anyone desiring to cause harm would already know what's going to be checked, so he would attempt something else--something for which we don't screen. The Israelis screen in some of the same ways the US does, but on top of that they have always known and practiced the most efficient and most effective means of assuring security: passenger profiling. Of course, modern SJW society won't tolerate that.
