Flight Carbon Footprint Calculator

Your details

Enter the great-circle distance of a single leg. Most booking sites show this, or search the airport pair in a distance tool.
Business and first-class seats occupy 2-4x more cabin space than economy, so their allocated share of aircraft fuel is proportionally higher.
Total travellers in your group. Results scale linearly per person.
Radiative forcing (RF) accounts for contrails, NOx, and water vapour warming at altitude. IPCC estimates RF roughly doubles the CO2-only warming effect.

About 158 kg CO2e total for this trip.

  • This trip emits about 158 kg CO2e per passenger, equal to driving roughly 924 km in an average petrol car.
  • You would need about 8 mature trees absorbing CO2 for a full year to offset the total group emissions.
  • Economy class has the lowest per-passenger footprint. Choosing a direct routing avoids the extra fuel burned on additional takeoffs and climbs.
  • Radiative forcing is included: contrails, NOx, and water vapour at cruise altitude roughly double the warming effect compared with CO2 alone.
