    There is far too much trivial flying for business, and people are flying while avoiding better ways to transport.

      There might be better transportation, but it is more costly. Just take germany for example, it is usually a lot more expensive to travel using long-distance trains than it is to travel by airplane. And not forgetting all the stress you get by travelling with the Deutsche Bahn cos their trains are literally only 60% of the time on time. And that’s not including cancelled trains, lol.

      Lol business people won’t care if the costs go up. They already pay extra to be able to sleep on their Intercontinental flights to go drinking “for business”.

      It’ll be you and I who won’t be able to go on vacation anywhere that requires crossing a major body of water.
