I read just a couple weeks ago about a new concept for ATC that would have the planes flying much more directly than the current "airlanes" dictate, and would permit direct approaches as opposed to the current "stacking" model. That would eliminate a lot of unnecessary mileage right there.
I don't know as much as I'd like to about flying - esp. hang gliding - but if you want to read up on the best hypermiler jet pilot I've ever heard of, Google "Gimli Glider."
