The "folds" reduce drag substantially and save quite a bit of fuel.

If planes can fly closet path connectiong point A to point B, it will have a shorter travel mileage than land travel, but in reality, how does air miles compare to land miles to go to say Houston from San Francisco?

Only a half full 747 is a good 747... especially if you have an entire centre aisle all to yourself, then you have a nice flat bed, even in economy. Those are my favorite flights

If it's not for good, perhaps the mods will "forget" to let that idiot back in after his vacation is over.

VORs? No...NDBs will. IMO.
