As travelers begin to turn their backs on air travel in favor of more eco-friendly options such as trains, airlines are responding to a growing sense of 'flight shame' among passengers by paying to offset CO2 emissions from jet fuel.
Despite the rise of the flight-shame movement and a growing interest in holidays by rail, an increasing number of British travellers are choosing package holidays to destinations across the Atlantic, with bookings to Mexico up by 3,500% since 1994.
Swedes seem to be following climate activist Greta Thunberg's example in shunning air travel. The percentage that opted to take a train rather than fly has doubled in a year and a half. Flight shame may be at work.
