Reduce Emissions from Flights

Top Tips...

• First, avoid flying if you can. Do you need to travel at all? If so, is it practical to use alternative forms of transport e.g. trains and coaches?
  
• If you need to fly then fly Economy Class instead of First Class or Business Class.  The higher density passenger seating in Economy Class, means more people to share the total flight emissions between, resulting in lower emissions per passenger.
  

Comparison of emissions

Take a return trip from London to Paris as an example:

For Holidays

• Try a staycation
• Holiday closer to home, as shorter flights cause lower emissions. e.g. a flight from London to Barcelona generates 0.35 tCO₂ emissions per passenger; where as a flight to Tenerife generates 0.85 tCO₂ emissions per passenger

If you really need to fly...

Do some research and choose lower emission flights where possible. Some online flight booking websites show provide efficiency information.

Offset the emissions from the flights you take to compensate for your emissions and support the development of climate change solutions around the world.
