Yeah, the ticket was about $10K. But I think that was mostly because it was treated like a charter flight. I can't help but think if it had been used more, it would have been able to take advantage of an economy of scale. It may have burned more fuel per minute, but was in the air 25% the time of the subsonics. So I expect it had the potential of being more fuel efficient. And I don't know what maintenance issues there were, but I would think it would also take advantage of economy of scale if it were used enough. Oh well.
