A discussion on the logistics of presidential travel reveals that Air Force One costs approximately $240,000 per hour to operate. While the government pays for official travel, political campaigns are required to reimburse a portion of the costs when the aircraft is used for rallies. To save money, the president occasionally uses a smaller Boeing 757 (C-32) instead of the primary 747 (VC-25).
