I bet you the three of us can rent a plane to ourselves and go.

You think we could operate an aircraft USA-India nonstop (or even with a stop) in $8,000? We wouldn't even be close to covering fuel costs, forget all the other costs involved...

actually if you take a small single engine propeller aircraft, the fuel cost will work out to around 3800 us dollars. i could fly you for free so your pilot fees are also taken care of. and it would seat 4. only catch we would have to do about 10 stops.

What has this turned into?
This would have been so easy if people took my idea of a bridge connecting US and UK seriously. Or that idea about a triangular bridge connecting the three landmasses.
