Cheap Flight News Europe

After much soul searching, I have finally made the decision to stop covering air travel on Eurapart. It will mean big changes to the Eurapart project, but I started Eurapart without airlines and now I am going back to a site without airlines. Although, I could make many excuses to justify why budget airlines should stay on the site, such as them operating the most modern fuel efficient fleets, their low baggage payloads and their high load factors, there is no point. Flying is one form of travel that we can, and in the future will have to do without. It consumes vast amounts of oil and generates more Carbon Dioxide per passenger kilometre than competing forms of public transport such as trains.
The challenge we will all eventually face is to travel without flying, this is a challenge Eurapart will take up now. How do you see travel without flying?
