– Find Your Flight Details: Gather information about your flight, including the departure and destination airports, flight distance, and the type of aircraft (if possible).
– Use an Online Calculator: Many websites offer flight emission calculators, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or other carbon footprint calculators. Enter your flight details, and the tool will estimate the emissions.
– Consider Class and Layovers: Emissions vary based on travel class (economy, business, first class) and the number of layovers, as more stops often increase overall emissions.
– Get Your Results: The calculator will provide an estimate of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for your flight, usually measured in kilograms or metric tons.
