I don’t want to rely on this reference too much because I spent all of 2 minutes googling it, but most people don’t fly even 1x a year (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/17/climate/flying-shame-emissions.html) Josh seems pretty self-aware about relationships with air travel though!

I’m in Portland, ME, and flew to FL to visit my parents in May. I waited too long to purchase my ticket, but anything direct was $1k+ for economy. Every single connection to/from was delayed and my last leg home was completely cancelled. I had to snag the one remaining seat from ATL>BOS, and share a two hour uber ride with a stranger at 11pm to get home before the next work day. (Delta, too)

I am the not even 1x. I hate air ports... but I do quite enjoy discussions of the failure of logistics and find organizational dysfunction fascinating, so still worth it.
