Flying is disastrous for the climate, it should be much more expensive and regulated.
Getting rid of hidden bullshit fees is good but we really don't want more people flying, we want less.
At they very least, I think short-distance flights need to be made way more expensive. Like a 70€ minimum ticket price on all flights.
There's no way in hell we're getting through the climate crisis when a German can pay 20€ for a flight to Mallorca and back, but pays 200€ for a train to the other side of the country.
