I came across an AFAR article this morning about a new trend that is popping up everywhere: flights to nowhere!
A flight to nowhere is exactly what it says. You get on a plane in one location, fly around for a while, and end up at the exact same airport where you started. Why would anyone want to do that?”
Not long ago, in a coronavirus-free world, the trend was rather flight-shaming. There was a push to rely more on trains and other sustainable forms of travel. Travelers reduced their air travel due to concern for the environment. If you could still get where you were going without flying, that was the way the world was headed.
Now, all of a sudden we’re taking flights when we aren’t even going anywhere because people are restricted to travel. But there are lots of sightseeing options that more environmental friendly than flying, like a scenic train trip, or may be even taking a virtual tour.
