Yeah, hilarious, but in reality they just won't go. Just like e.g. most Indians never fly to the U.S. even if they have relatives living there. Or more fitting

Yeah, hilarious, but in reality they just won't go.
Just like e.g. most Indians never fly to the U.S. even if they have relatives living there. Or more fittingly, how most Hungarians used to be able to afford to go on a holiday near Lake Balaton until they were priced out by wealthier Germans, or middle-class families in Canberra used to be able to afford daycare but now only the top 3% by income do.
I would not hold my breath about the state subsidizing cross-Atlantic trips for families.
- Cyph0n 3y ago> but in reality they just won't go. Sounds like a beautiful dream! Emergencies happen. Grandparents & relatives exist. Parents will still want to show their kids how vast & beautiful the world is. Could it get more expensive to travel? Sure. But families will continue to travel, and annoyed passengers will continue to deal with it. C'est la vie.
- saithound 3y agoAgain, you're commenting under an article which shows that some airlines are betting the annoyed passengers will not continue to deal with it. If you claim to believe that "families are able to travel by air in a. case of emergency", "grandparents can afford to see their grandchildren" and "most children get to see how vast and beautiful the world is" somehow follow from Newton's laws, even though we just had a two-year period with major loss of access to air travel, well... I'll leave you to your beautiful dream.
