Know Your Flight Carbon Footprint
· 2 min read
Flying is one of the most carbon intensive things many of us do, yet it is easy to lose track of the total. SkyJourney estimates the CO2 of every flight you log, so your footprint is no longer a mystery.
What SkyJourney Tracks
Open your statistics and you can see:
- Total estimated CO2 across all your flights
- Average CO2 per flight, a handy reference point
- How your CO2 trends over time, year by year
- A split by route type or class, since a long haul in a premium cabin weighs very differently from a short economy hop
These numbers are estimates based on route and flight details, not a direct reading of fuel burned. They are meant to give you an honest, consistent picture rather than a precise lab measurement.
Why It Matters
You cannot manage what you do not measure. Seeing your footprint in one place can quietly change how you think about travel:
- Notice the handful of long hauls that dominate your total
- Compare a year of frequent short trips against a single big journey
- Decide where small changes are worth it and where they are not
Getting Better Estimates
To keep your CO2 numbers meaningful:
- Keep your routes accurate, since distance is the biggest driver
- Record the cabin class, because premium seats carry a larger share of the aircraft footprint
- Fix flights with missing airports or obviously wrong distances
Awareness is the first step. With your flights logged, your footprint becomes a number you can actually see, follow, and act on.
