It makes my blood boil to think these frequent flyer politicians are the same people demanding action against climate change.
My blood boils on receiving the bamboo or papper drink straw, which immediately soaks and becomes useless. Wonder if they use them on these flights that would surely help limiting the carbon footprint.

I have a bag of 1000 plastic straws, at current consumption that will last me about 200 years.
All reasonable until we slide over the custom plane config with extra business class... I hope thats not a literal, we moved the seats for the aristocrats type of flight.
This means they can dynamically adjust the size of business class on a per flight basis. So "a huge business class cabin" is misleading here.

Why is European business class so absolutely terrible?
The flight in the article takes 55 minutes to go 178km. Short flights will have proportionally more time taxing etc, but this alone wouldn’t appear to explain it.
BTW, I am a EU citizen worried about climate change and tired of recycling at home to sometimes see this kind of hypocrisy of some politicians.
It seems EU politicians believe in climate change, until they have to catch a bus for a couple of hours… BTW, I am a EU citizen worried about climate change and tired of recycling at home to sometimes see this kind of hypocrisy of some politicians.
No need for hypocrisy. Those of us who see flight shame as a bit silly can fly. Others can not. I assume the same applies for EU politicians.

Edit: oops, this is about Frankfurt-Strasbourg. (Sorry, I mixed it up with some other fairly recent reporting.) That's really hard to justify: there are high-speed trains doing that route in 1h50, and a non-stop one could do it even faster.
