Says that a 737 flies on average 4300 miles per day, and that 7lb digital entertainment console costs $216 to carry per year.

That's .000019 dollars per lb-mile. JFK-SFO is 2586 miles. That's $10 in fuel for carrying an extra 200lbs.

But less passengers could mean more cargo...



$10/flight * thousands of flights per day * 365 days per year = real money. Airline margins can be ruthless.


$10/flight < ticket price
