One of Emirate claim to fame use to be excellent crew. But I think that has faded just a bit. While the first leg of my journey was impeccable, the second was good but not amazing. A few of the crew could have use a bit of smiley face, plus the sandwich served after take off was not good at all. I would have not served it at all.

British Airways retired its fleet of 747s, which consumed more fuel, and replaced them with A350s and 787s which are about 25-40% more efficient. Virgin Atlantic is increasing its use of sustainable aviation fuels to help reach its net zero carbon emissions target. Similarly, Air India is reducing the amount of single use plastic on its flights, such as cutlery, and replacing it with eco-friendly wooden cutlery. It’s always a good idea to compare the airlines before you choose one so that you can see which one offers the best sustainable options for the route you’re taking.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from London to Delhi?

    There are several ways in which you can make your flight from London to Delhi more eco-friendly. Opt for an economy seat rather than a business seat as this has a far better fuel efficiency rating per person due to there being more people in the economy cabin. The extra services and amenities in Business Class cabins, such as reclining chairs, also use up a lot more energy than those in Economy Class cabins. It’s also better to fly in the day, rather than night, due to the impact of condensation trails. These form during every flight but at night they create a thicker thermal layer and therefore warm the atmosphere more. You should also look to fly direct, rather than indirect, as this means less fuel is required for the journey. Also, due to the fact you’ll only take-off and land once which is when the highest fuel consumption is, you'll use less energy to get to your destination.
