    Most airlines providing flights to the United Kingdom from South Africa offer eco-friendly flights. However, British Airways, Air France, KLM, SWISS, and Lufthansa offer the most eco-friendly flights. British Airways’ success in sustainable travel has involved offsetting carbon emissions produced by passengers, and the airline has also replaced older fleets with modern fleets with new operational technologies and sustainable aviation fuel. Air France achieves eco-friendly flights by reducing aircraft weight by using lightweight materials, and their fleet also includes modern-generation planes that are more fuel-efficient.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from South Africa to the United Kingdom?

    You can take several measures to ensure sustainable travel to the United Kingdom from South Africa. One way to achieve this is by adhering to the baggage limit provided by your airline before boarding your flight. Heavy baggage increases the weight of the plane, making it burn more fuel hence emitting more carbon. You can also opt for a direct flight to the United Kingdom instead of flights with layovers. Direct flights only have one take-off and landing, making them burn less fuel than flights with more than one take-off and landing. Another way you can ensure your flight is eco-friendly is by booking economy-class seats on your flights. These seats take up less space than first-class seats hence reducing the amount of carbon footprint per passenger. Lastly, instead of using disposable headsets and single-use plastics provided during your flight, you can carry reusable containers and your headphones.
