I didn't really understand the significance of this?

Does it only make sense if you believe what the top commenter believes:

“So when I see stories like this, it confirms that all this climate change nonsense is just that - nonsense. If it was really an issue, these flights wouldn't exist."

Don't blame Lufthansa, blame the EU institutions and the French government for creating this bizarre nomadism of EU parliamentarians.

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.

There are plenty of European politicians not demanding action against climate change, how are you so sure the ones on this plane are the ones demanding action against climate change?

This is the modern equivalent of a Royal Road.

I guess it's a bit of a curiosity. The charge of hypocrisy is to be expected, and not entirely wrong, although it suffers from the usual problem, namely that a doctor telling you that smoking is dangerous with a pack of Marlboros on his desk isn't necessarily wrong.
