Any tips on what / where for any last minute shopping bargains? Pound is cr*p so doubt it will be all that, but open to helpful suggestions from anyone who knows the score (Orlando and/or Miami)

More? Same trip J2. On my way home this week :-)
One way to minimise your CF is go take longer holidays, with fewer flights. Will stick to biking trips for the summer though.
That said, buying sh1t you dont need isnt wise, and given the lack of advice looks like I'll probably just be chilling the last few days... | |

The premium outlets are usually a safe bet depending what you want, some good bargains to be found and there’s a couple around Orlando |  | | |

I'm just messing with you anyway. | |

Spirit airlines. No road from Colombia to Panama and a cruise was about 3k ffs.
Been doing a bit of thinking on flights and wondering why they count to your CF given that the flight takes off whether you are on if or not. Or is the CF representative of additional weight from your person / luggage?
If not, then surely there is no,additional CF? Though that argument then means the only way to reduce the CF from flights is to reduce the number of flights. Or fewer but bigger planes? So much to think about... | |

That's looks an awful lot like motivated reasoning....
Your flights were bad, I suspect that's why many took issue at your original post which did seem a tad superior. It doesn't mean you didn't raise a very valid point which people should be discussing.
As for the actual question, it's dependent on the weight of the plane. The more weight then more fuel needed. Obviously there is an economy of scale, if you are the only passenger on a 747 then it's massively worse for your CF than if you are one of 450.

Yeah, think your right.
As for my original post, i welcomed the fact that a lot of highly ,principled youngsters were,standing up and saying enough is enough ref climate change.
That i did that whilst on holiday, well if people choose to use that as a bat to ignore the point that is their perogative i guess....some might call it 'motivated reasoning' 😀 | |

Not to drag it up again or have a go at you but they were threatening to close down an airport when people had 4 days off to travel. You've been gone what seems like months?
It's just having a little empathy. | |

Of course I'd feel empathy for those who maybe missed a family holiday.
But i guess that they might argue that the environmental emergency our planet is facing outweighs the (undoubted) inconvience / distruption they were causing.
The methods of direct action has been used by many over the years (Women's voting rights, anti apartheid protests, civil rights in America) and I'd argue is fully justified when the alternatives fail to get anywhere...
Anyhow I dont think we are ever going to agree on the rights n wrongs of the protesters. Best agree to disagree rather than start another 10 pager. | |

I think the point here is it's very easy to agree to something disruptive if it's after you've had a chance to do the thing that would have been disrupted. To many (including me when you posted it) it looked hugely hypocritical to post that thread saying people should get on board with the message whilst sitting in South America having literally just wracked up your CF. It was a bit "do as I say, not as I do".
As I've said though, it doesn't mean that they don't have a very good point and that the discussion shouldn't be highlighted. I don't think anyone had any issue with the point you raised, just the optics.
