Will there be a massive drop in foreign holidays this year?

[Dogbark]

Very few people will give a fuck about climate change when booking a holiday.

TBF they care when they are recycling their plastic and pretending that they don't know that it will probably be getting dumped somewhere overseas.

neebody really cares about cc mate. decent families deserve a foreign holiday so they can wear their new summer togs there.

I don't fly for summer holidays anyway. I'll be off camping in the Alps in a week. Driving there & back with a 2.7l diesel like. Does this make me an enemy of the planet or what?

Once that great environmental hero Prince Charles stops using jets like a personal taxi service then I will contemplate abandoning my annual flight abroad..

Was talk of capping the premium they have ie doubling costs is taking the piss.



Holiday time family hols for 5 to anywhere decent are still dear believe me!

I'm not one to defend big business but the school holidays is the one time they can make money. Many holidays in school time make little profit or some at a loss as they have to book the hotel rooms in 6 months blocks.
Different holidays for different authorities is the only way to bring down costs. Look at flights Edinburgh towards the end of August, much cheaper than Newcastle.

People will not change.

We are selfish. We will only change when we are forced to and have no choice. Then it will be too late.

This is bang on mark, 100 percent true.

UK holidays only for me. Because I'm skint not because of climate change.

Holidays are mint, especially with it being a bit hotter.

Sometimes I just fly places if I have a spare day or two. I love heights, eating, drinking and sleeping in chairs, so airplanes tick all the boxes.

I don't own a dog and so my excessive flying is the carbon footprint my dog would leave, if I had a dog.

Just had an argument with my brother.
He said no one is going away this year because of the climate crisis and the little girl who protested, oh and Blue Planet

I said I doubted people would not go on their summer holidays over this and that if we had a shit summer more people would go away than last year.
If we have a great summer plenty of people will stay and say it is because they care about climate change etc

I will keep going away several times a year because I enjoy it. Others do other things to kill the planet.

I'm working in Glasgow. It's full of foreigners there as well. Britain for the English, that's what I say

If less holidays are being taken this year it'll entirely be down to brexit uncertainty believing the nonsense that planes wont be able to fly etc.

Aeroplane engines are about 70% more efficient now than 20 years ago, so don’t feel guilty. It’s your parents who caused the earth to burn.

Should have a forgein holiday/flight tax that ramps up ridiculously on each subsequent holiday/flight. First ones 10% second 100% third 1000% with all money going to environmental fixes.

And if Brexit doesnt happen & eventually become a federal state, then that trip to spain wont be 'foreign'

I insist on only flying on diesel planes
