Ban air miles schemes to discourage excessive flying and combat climate change

The video discusses the environmental impact of frequent flyer programs, highlighting calls to ban air miles schemes that encourage excessive flying. Rob Burgess, a frequent flyer expert, explains how these schemes are designed to shift customer loyalty between airlines rather than increase flying. A report by the Climate Change Committee suggests that a small percentage of the population accounts for most flights, and proposes a frequent flyer levy to curb excessive flying. The report aims to target frequent flyers without affecting average travelers, while airlines worry about losing lucrative customers.
