I think that people like Boltar, with a fear of flying, rationalise it
by asserting that flying is a bad idea for everyone. That way, they
don't feel they're losing out so much.

It's hardly a wondrous gift for the environment though.

True, but making UK passengers fly via a hub in another city doesn't
improve matters.

Arguably depends on the efficiencies - aggregating lots of passengers
through hubs in say the middle east or Turkey might be more efficient
for many journeys.

[...] Unless we all go back to travelling by sea, which
might have to happen one day in the distant future, people are going
to fly anyway.
