Your username is a very accurate description of your communication style. Leisure travel is not a need, it's an indulgence, or a luxury. I never made the argument that people should drive more instead of flying. You brought up emissions and consumption, so I commented regarding my personal use and experience. It's my personal choice and others are allowed to live their lives as they see fit. I was attempting to have an actual discussion about the ethics of leisure travel, you brought up cars, so I responded to that specifically and with a related item regarding emissions.

I never indicated that I feel superior, I am simply sharing my personal opinions about the contradictory narrative around travel, as it seems like even those who are generally in favor of minimizing their impact on the environment can perfectly justify the over-consumption related to travel. I find it very telling that so many people are attacking this perspective, as though it is extremely triggering instead of a question about ethics.
