RIP. https://seatguru.com has been shutdown after 24 years of operation. It was the most comprehensive community driven jetliner cabin layout database for frequent flyers.

So long the most viable alternative is https://seatmaps.com, but it lacks the extensive database of flightreports.

Save The Jet Fuel Tax!

On Wednesday, the EU Council will vote on the Orban Government's crazy proposal to ban a #JetFuelTax in the EU until at least 2035. This is a slap in the face of democracy, fairness, and #ClimateAction. It would mean that the #aviation industry keeps polluting for free while the rest of us pay the price.

That's why we need you. We've written a draft email, and collected the contacts of every person who will be in that meeting. You just need to press send.

It's not too late! If we act now, we can convince one member state to block this destructive proposal.

Stop Orban killing the jet fuel tax

On Wednesday, the EU Council will discuss the Orban Government's proposal to ban a jet fuel tax in the EU until at least 2035. This is a slap in the face of democracy, fairness, and climate action. It would mean that the aviation industry keeps polluting for free while the rest of us pay the price. It's not too late! If we act now, we might convince one member state to block this destructive proposal. Email the EU Council members now!

A typically trenchant column from Martha Gill.

"There is nothing inherent to environmental policies that means ordinary people must bear the brunt of them, although we have tended to organise things that way."

Frequent flyers are rewarded for polluting. Let them pay the full price

A progressive carbon tax on flying would protect poor people far more than simply abandoning green policies

@EricHolthaus
A joke to obscure the bitter truth?
All the #DaylightSaving since the 80s was a conspiracy by the #FrequentFlyers!
They are altering their inner timelines. And when they fly east they require extra daylight time once they land or their lives would be shortened a day to make up for the inner clock change.
That's why only poor people get jetlag. They don't get access to the secret stach of our daylight saving. Now you know what the "more" in #MilesAndMore really stands for.

Even in the US - the country with the highest #aviation emissions in the world - more than half of the people do not fly in a given year. The bulk of emissions come from a few #FrequentFlyers. #ClimateJustice
