        Okay well that’s dumb and I don’t know why people do that. When you account for getting to the airport early, getting through security, boarding, taking off and landing, etc., you really don’t even save much time if any over taking a bus or a train. Plus it’s more of a hassle.

        Also, that still doesn’t change the fact that medium-haul and long-haul flights are lower emissions per passenger than several other modes of transport including car and ship. It’s still the most eco-friendly way to cross an ocean.
