Alexis von Hoensbroech says the global push to decarbonize the aviation sector by 2050 will lead to a major increase in ticket prices unless governments step in to offer support.

The high cost of a decarbonized plane (as you’ve rightly identified) is a good reason to focus on it filling in the shortest hop of the trip. Use high-speed rail for as much as possible, and then use the expensive flying machine full of sustainable synthetic natural gas or whatever for the last leg.
The most active traveller I know is a waitress. You can get a pretty decent all-inclusive week-long resort trip in Cayo Coco, Cuba for like $600CAD per person. I’m a very cheap guy, I didn’t even have a data plan on my phone until this year, and $600CAD is nothing for a once-every-few-years trip. That’s the difference between my yearly cellphone bill and a normal person’s cellphone bill.

Moving the goalposts. You started out saying only “the rich”. A single-income waitress is not “the rich” unless you’re completely bonkers. You can argue that such a person is middle-class, or working class, or petite bourgeoisie, however you want to classify her. But if you call somebody like that “the rich” you’ve taken a vacation from reality.

That’s two different values you’re lumping into one.
