How can I fly more sustainably from Johannesburg to Cape Town?

One way to ensure more sustainable travel is to fly during the day. It is scientifically proven that flying during the day causes less heat to be trapped in the atmosphere.

You can also make a carbon footprint offset towards a foundation that would benefit from your pledge. In doing so, you can compensate for some of the environmental impacts due to flying and support sustainable and green causes. Finally, only fly economy class as this is the most efficient form of flying and therefore has a lower environmental impact.
