This too. All else being equal, if you doubled the price per flight and halved the number of passengers you crammed on a plane, you'd have less than half as many people flying and a lot fewer flights, hence a lot less pollution. My proof of this is that if it or equal value to double the price and halve the seats, some airline would be doing it.

Cities all over are falling over each other as great place to "explore" and "experience" much more than being good place to live, work or raise family. If I see through this promotion I am the curmudgeon who doesn't love the joys of travel.
