Round trip = 300nm + 250nm = $550. That's just $50 extra, but wait,
there's
more, have your VISA card ready for the tax man to *credit*. It is all
tax
deductable. Let's assume a 35% tax brakcet (use your own number (just a
complete guess)). Your longer flight now only cost you $360 - that's
almost
a $200 SAVING!!!

A full-time student, strapped for cash, paying 35% in income tax?

Right.

More likely he doesn't have to pay income tax at all, assuming there's any
significant income, after deducting educational costs. But even if he does,
he's probably looking at a 15% savings, tops.

Your information certainly is a good way to sell Angel Flight or similar,
but it hardly seems applicable here.
