Definitely. Not many choices for you here. The frequent flyers are the ones that need to change their ways. Then we have the companies and their very cheap plane tickets, airport expansions, tax exemptions for the industry, etc.

Something I can’t understand is why changing flight 2 or 3 times makes flying a long distance cheaper, but you have to fly twice as far. It doesn’t make sense. I can fly from London to Turkey, change and fly to Cape Town for nearly half the price of flying direct.
