The best way to reduce your carbon footprint to Dubai from London is to choose airlines that offer direct flights, as these consume far less fuel. In this case, most of them are operated by Emirates Airlines out of Heathrow Airport. A single stopover can hugely increase full consumption, as the throttles are fully opened during take-off, which can burn up an entire wing fuel cell just to get off the ground. Compare this to cruising at 60% throttle and the difference in eco-friendly travel is stark. British Airways has retired its entire fleet of older aircraft, in favour of the latest, most fuel-efficient planes, like A350s and 787s. It also has a policy of replacing as much of the plastic in meal trays and amenity kits with at least 50% recycled materials. Emirates has been operating these for a few years already.

One of the most important things you can do to make each flight more sustainable is to help in keeping weight down as much as possible. Less total weight means less fuel consumption, so pack as lightly as you can, and forgo those items that you’re tempted to take with you because you might perhaps use them. You can also choose day flights rather than night flights. It may seem counter-intuitive, but more heat is trapped in contrails and clouds as the aircraft flies through the sky at night time, and heat is reflected off the aircraft’s metal surfaces away from the atmosphere more efficiently during the day. Something that’s really easy to do is to use the carbon offsetting tools airlines offer, like making a donation to organisations that are involved in reforestation each time you fly.
