Smaller seats. Less legroom.Out of control fees for in-flight meals, checked bags, or even carry-ons.Charging us $25 to print a boarding pass!Why does flying...
The problem is not flying itself, it’s the lack of stimulus to make flying green. If governments would actually tax jet fuel, we probably would have figured out hydrogen based airplanes by now. We should stop blaming consumers for wanting to live a good and fulfilling live and start pressuring companies to do what is right. We have the tech, we just don’t have the right “incentive” for these companies.
I mean those are also good things but I think it’s going to take some time—decarbonization or air travel is a difficult problem. In the mean time air travel should be avoided to the extent practical.
