I bet most of it is business flights. So many pointless flights to go to pointless meetings in person.

- TYPE_FASTER 6y agoIt will be really interesting to compare pre-COVID 2019 vs. 2022 statistics for markets like business travel.
- rorykoehler 6y agoThis data is a core part of the data we have at work. We are expecting a massive spike way above the previous norm when travel opens up (soon in some places and later in others), followed by levels 50-80% (my finger in the air guesstimate... we haven't tried to model this) pre-covid as more people take video calls instead of flights now that they are used to it.
- hackeraccount 6y agoSurely they aren't all pointless. I think figuring out which flights are and which have a value to the business is a bit trickier to figure out then you suppose.
- rorykoehler 6y agoI flew from Berlin to Australia for a meeting and the person I was supposed to meet never even turned up because he pull an all nighter trying to meet a deadline the night before. Luckily it wasn't the only reason for the trip but it could have easily been. Good times.
