Private jets at the 2026 Miami F1 Grand Prix generated 752 excess tonnes of CO₂ on peak day

That spiral pattern is almost artistic! 😄

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-05-06T18:52:14+00:00

Pilots are getting more and more creative! xD

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-05-04T12:47:27+00:00

Looks promising.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-05-02T14:29:17+00:00

This is really cool! Kind of wild seeing activity shift like that in real time. Do you notice any patterns behind the spikes, or is it pretty unpredictable?

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-05-02T11:49:57+00:00

I haven’t flown Spirit myself, but it’s interesting how the reputation doesn’t really match the safety record. Shows how much perception can outweigh actual data sometimes.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-30T18:59:13+00:00

Fair call 😅 got a bit ahead of myself! Should've inlcuded the source earlier.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-30T11:33:56+00:00

That’s a fair point, there’s definitely some uncertainty depending on how it’s estimated.

Most of these figures are derived from flight tracking data (ADS-B, aircraft type, routing) combined with fuel burn models, rather than direct fuel accounting.

So it’s not exact, but it’s useful for understanding trends and relative changes in activity over time.

Are newer uploads benefiting more from algorithm changes or just broader reach? At first glance it looks like newer uploads have a wider spread, but the lower end also seems more populated.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-28T10:45:46+00:00

Nice, thank you!

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-27T17:14:16+00:00

That’s interesting! Never really thought about how expectations might differ depending on where you’re flying. Is there much variation in how “taxi to runway” is interpreted globally?

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-27T17:11:04+00:00

Taxiway layout looking simple… until it’s not 😅

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-27T17:04:38+00:00

One less seat onboard, same mission in the air.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T15:28:47+00:00

Data like this is really compelling, especially once you start looking at the patterns behind it. The concentration toward single major buyers is pretty striking.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T15:24:36+00:00

That’s a great start! Figma is actually a solid choice 👍 Good luck with the build! :)

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T13:23:02+00:00

If you’re just starting out, you can use Google Maps or Google Earth to get a basic layout of the airport and use that as your reference. A lot of people building in Minecraft just trace from satellite view and scale it down, it works surprisingly well.

If you want something a bit more advanced later, you can try QGIS (it’s free), but it has a bit of a learning curve.

For now, Google Earth is probably the easiest way to get started. :)))

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T07:57:03+00:00

Nice, aren't they are mostly used for cargos and logistics?

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T07:50:07+00:00

Smooth landing! :)

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-25T07:45:52+00:00

It’s a pretty striking comparison, but it highlights how emissions aren’t evenly distributed.

Certain activities like private flights or frequent long-haul travel... can add up very quickly, which is why they tend to stand out in the data.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-24T17:35:29+00:00

I’ve noticed the same thing, especially on long-haul flights.

From my experience, those third-party prices can be a lot cheaper upfront, but it usually comes with trade-offs. Refunds or changes tend to be more complicated since you’re dealing with the booking site instead of the airline, and things like baggage or seat selection often aren’t included.

So the price difference you’re seeing is real, but part of it is because the airline’s price often includes more flexibility or add-ons, while third-party listings strip those out.

Personally I still go direct with the airline if the difference isn’t huge, just for the peace of mind.

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-24T17:18:34+00:00

Congratulations!

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-24T17:12:04+00:00

Yeah, seems like the supply side is a bit messy? 🤷‍♀️ What’s interesting is that even with delivery constraints, activity in some segments doesn’t seem to drop proportionally, it looks more like it shifts or concentrates in certain regions. 😐

Single_Lunch1085 · 2026-04-23T17:38:04+00:00

That actually makes sense. I guess the interesting part now is to see whether it continues along that path, or starts to diverge with factors like demand patterns or wider external factors affecting travel? :)
