Flight Carbon Footprint Calculator

How It Works

Calculate flight carbon emissions based on travel distance, passenger count, and cabin seat class.

• Seat Class: Premium cabins occupy more floor space and add weight, multiplying emissions by 1.6x for premium economy, 2.9x for business, and 4.0x for first class.
• High-Altitude Forcing: Incorporates a radiative forcing factor of 1.9x to account for non-CO2 warming effects like contrails and nitrogen oxides.
• Equivalencies: Compares flight footprint against equivalent miles driven in an average gas car and tree seedlings needed to absorb the emissions.
