"Flying across the world but want to limit your emissions? Experts say the size
of an economy passenger’s carbon footprint can vary dramatically depending on
the route and model of plane. Even when flying on the same plane type between
the same locations, average passenger emissions can vary widely depending on
how the airline lays out seating across its cabins.
The industry standard modelling of per passenger emissions is displayed when
booking through travel agents and websites such as Skyscanner, Google and
Expedia.
Experts warn this cannot capture all of a flight’s actual footprint – a
multitude of factors determine a flight’s emissions, which means there are few
reliable rules that climate conscious travellers can follow that don’t require
hefty research. But some basic parameters offer a rough guide."
