1.7mil in fuel and associated costs to fly two planes to Copenhagen (one for him and another for his wife and Oprah) is what I heard.
*edit*
1.5 mil in fuel alone no associated luxuries.

A plane like a Boeing 747 uses approximately 1 gallon of fuel (about 4 liters) every second. Over the course of a 10-hour flight, it might burn 36,000 gallons (150,000 liters). According to Boeing's Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer).
Huh, just ran the math, and got around $1.2 million

Both planes always travel with the President where ever he goes. The Back-Up plane is there just incase it is needed.
