1.) Air Mobility Command from Seattle to Osan (South Korea)
Cost/mile: $0.0023
You cannot beat the price of an AMC Space-A flight. I paid $12 to fly from Seattle to Osan AFB, Korea, a distance of 5186 miles.
12/5186=0.002313922097956
So it costs 2/10ths of a cent per mile. You just have to be in the US military to get on board...
