Due to the pandemic, the business travel slowdown is expected to be longer lasting than originally thought, and in the meanwhile, get prepared to spend more money to fly anywhere, and I mean lots
more money.
Looks like this is the end of the need to visit with and
recruit more customers in person, yet it's been determined that even the process of government can benefit
with a greater efficiency at less cost with Zoom meetings.
And as well, businesses have found that customers
are happy with a Zoom one to one.
The era of the cattle car flights with no room to sit comfortably
is essentially over.
Airlines are buying more wide body airlines for the luxury
market, more room for all passengers, at a big price. And the same airlines are buying wide body
supersonic planes to jet to London faster than the Concorde ever did. The price is expected to be $2,500 per ticket
one-way.
Now, profit conscious airlines are stripping the price of the airline ticket into
what is essentially dividing the ticket as though the worth is an eights of
an inch equivalent.
The low and middle income will be yelling ouch when they have to pay the "surcharge" price of the fuel that a climate conscious
world is deliberately limiting, as they have for the past year, when they have paid extra for food, drinks, and find their luggage can also incur extra cost.
Of course, the rich and well connected, whomever they may be, are not
suffering.
As well, the middle and lower classes can still enjoy the travel gurus present their popular TV programs, also the TV chef gurus like Lydia.
But if you are a global climate emergency zealot, keep in mind, TV travel gurus aren't participating in the climate
change emergency by practicing less and eventually no dependence on fossil fuel
directives. Many of them continue to fly in a
private plane at the courtesy of the destination they are visiting. Even the cooking show gurus may not be saving the world
from fossil fuels. Not when it comes to choosing to fly in comfort, versus not flying and not filming any more of their cooking shows. Some still choose to fly on planes that burn up fossil fuel, but they tout the superior small organic farm producers, usually in a second world country aiming to claim fame with the ethnic dishes.
You
don't have to envy the wealthiest in your community for enjoying in person travel all over the
world in comfort, not even when they are also buying the perfect food ingredients your
favorite TV chef cooks.
If you
can afford cable or dish or a satellite, you can still arm chair travel with
your favorite TV travel guru, but there are no more crowded airports with those pesky security pat downs. And you can add to your recipe collection with your favorite TV cooking gurus, even if you have to skimp and substitute when you purchase the ingredients
needed to produce the perfect food.
