The rule of thumb is that one third of the cost of operating an airliner is the fuel cost. So if your ticket cost $300 you probably used $100 worth of fuel.
Air travel is not more or less polluting than cars or ships. It is just faster. Of course it depends on the type of plane and how full it is. A modern airliner with a full load of passengers is pretty fuel efficient in terms of miles per gallon per passenger.
