    Thank you for your considered response. I indeed travel for family, which forces me to spend an insane amount of money on travelling costs for the privilege of seeing my children once in a while.

    Again, I agree that we should make trains more affordable but not at the expensive of long distance air travel.

    Airplanes contribute 2.5 - 3.5% of total emissions

      I see. That’s rough and I wish you much strength for your situation as well as the fortune to afford these travels. It sucks that money is the only way to realistically filter who “deserves” to make these journeys but sadly that’s the system we’re living in.
