Explore The Climate Impact of Flying, Calculate Your Flight Emissions!
1) Here is a simple to use calculator that includes options for layovers, type of plane, and choice of travel class TO SEE FLIGHT EMISSIONS PER PASSENGER:

3) This flight calculator focuses on the inequity and privilege of flying compared to how many millions of people around the world burn less than each passenger!

4) this calculator compares flight emissions to other lifestyle choices. Even if we take environmentally conscious steps like eating vegetarian or driving an electric car, damage from one flight can completely wipe out these savings.
- Distance (each way): N/A
- Round-trip emissions per passenger: N/A
- Avoiding this trip is as climate friendly as being vegetarian for: N/A
- Avoiding this trip is as climate friendly as carpooling for: N/A
- This many people in the world emit fewer greenhouse gases in one year: N/A
- You could travel this far in an electric train like Eurostar: N/A
- These emissions melt this much Arctic sea ice: N/A
Enter an itinerary for a round trip flight to see the carbon emissions and climate impact per passenger.
Note: This calculator uses an average emissions per kilometer, most accurate to shorter flights, and factors in an average for connecting flights which are more emissions- intensive than non stop flights. Flight emissions vary by aircraft.
Why Google flight tracker shows lower emissions: Google 'airbrushes' out emissions from flying, BBC reveals, 9/26/22. And why non CO2 flight impacts matter?
To limit global warming to a relatively safe 1.5 degrees Celsius it is estimated that individuals must have a yearly budget of 0.6 metric tons of C02e emissions.
The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 12.9 tons, one of the highest in the world.
