Or is it your thesis that because you don't accept that I need to go to
those places (on your own definition of "need"), nothing should be done
which might facilitate my getting there?

Well personally I couldn't care less if you could get there or not.

That's OK. I don't expect you (or anyone else equally unimportant* to
me) to care about that.

But neither do i expect you to be allowed to hinder me, as, in fact, I
don't expect that even you think that you ought to be allowed to hinder
others.

But what
I'm saying is there should be a limit on flights.

Why?

If that means people can't
go to New York or Ibiza or wherever the next day then thats just too bad.

The market takes care of that. An immediate ticket LHR - JFK costs a LOT
of money (more than I'd care to pay).

Only children expect to get what they want straight away. Society is
infantilised enough already.

You say that people travelling at short notice to the places they wish
to travel to are childish, do you?

I assume you exempt yourself from that.
