Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments SEGMENTS
Refinery Operations

Our refinery segment operates for the benefit of the airline segment by providing jet fuel to the airline segment from its own production and through jet fuel obtained through agreements with third parties. The refinery's production consists of jet fuel, as well as non-jet fuel products. We use several counterparties to exchange the non-jet fuel products produced by the refinery for jet fuel consumed in our airline operations. The gross fair value of the products exchanged under these agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.0 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, compared to $536 million and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Segment Reporting

Segment results are prepared based on our internal accounting methods described below, with reconciliations to consolidated amounts in accordance with GAAP. Our segments are not designed to measure operating income or loss directly related to the products and services included in each segment on a stand-alone basis.

Fair Value Obligations

The net fair value obligations presented in the financial information by segment for the three month periods table above are related to renewable fuel compliance costs, are presented net of any related assets or fixed price purchase agreements and are based on quoted market prices and other observable information and are therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our obligation as of June 30, 2022 was calculated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") volume requirements, which were finalized in June 2022. The compliance deadlines to retire our obligations for 2020 and 2021 are in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, respectively.
