Picture this. Instead of fighting through an airport to get on a flight, you check in to a facility next to a trucking yard. You get put under, trucked to the nearest railyard, and transported to the nearest port. There, you get offloaded to a cargo vessel and transported to a different continent. Reverse the process to get you awake and refreshed and maybe even time zone compensated at your destination.
No air travel, no aircraft emissions.
Doesn't sound like something I'd do, but I'd read a science fiction book that examined the implications.
That works if I have 2+ weeks in my life at my disposal for... whatever... what if I have to be there ASAP.
You will still be able to fly but the price will be much higher because the bigger market is in economy travel, which will eventually be people in hibernation moving along the surface.
Yea, that sound reasoning to me. If you're willing to pay a hefty carbon tax then fly all you want, sounds inside the realm of reality. The person who's shitting on this theoretical idea is boring, and I don't know why you would bother to contribute if you're just going to say it's a stupid idea.
