It's great if you can afford it. If you can afford to fly even a couple times a year you're pretty privileged. I can't, and I'm still privileged.

I can't either. My wife is a teacher and we have a child. We can't vacation in the off-seasons. We both have great jobs. So if we get to fly, it's something special. And I don't want that taken away to be honest. Using airplanes like taxis however (e.g. Ryan Air)? That's just not a good thing to do to the environment.
