Call for testimonies. Have you ever felt judged or criticized for flying?

According to a recent study (*), the social view of air travellers remains generally neutral, with 65% of French people believing that using air travel is neither good nor bad, and air traffic is booming . On the other hand, one in five French people have already felt judged or criticised for using this means of transport.

Have you ever felt this judgment or faced criticism related to the significant carbon footprint of this mode of transport? If so, from whom in your circle? Do you hide it? Have these remarks made you change your habits or perceptions? Perhaps you judge yourself when you fly? In any case, how are you experiencing this climate?
