What is carbon offsetting for flights?

Carbon offsetting for flights involves calculating the CO2 emissions from your air travel and investing in projects that remove or reduce an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere, effectively neutralizing your flight's environmental impact.

Which carbon offset programs are most reputable?

Frontier Climate is a recommended carbon removal scheme that invests in innovative carbon removal technologies. Always look for programs with verified carbon credits and transparent reporting.

How much should I pay to offset my flight emissions?

The amount depends on your flight distance, cabin class, and the carbon offset program's pricing. Use our spreadsheet tool to calculate the appropriate payment based on current carbon pricing and your specific flight details.

Does cabin class affect flight emissions?

Yes, cabin class significantly affects your carbon footprint. Business and first-class seats take up more space and weight, resulting in higher per-passenger emissions compared to economy class.
