  • What can I do to travel sustainably?

    Suppose you wish to fly from Brisbane to Melbourne in an eco-savvy manner. In that case, go budget and purchase economy seat tickets. This means more travellers are packed onboard, thus reducing GHG emissions per seat. Another sustainable travel tip is to skip flights with stopovers as stopover flights have more landings and takeoffs and, therefore, more fuel intake. It would help if you also bring a reusable water bottle and pack-ups.

  • Do the airlines on this route have sustainable practices, and what are they?

    If you wish to fly with environmentally-responsible airlines from Brisbane to Melbourne, consider reserving your flight with Jetstar or Qantas, which emit 29% and 27% less carbon, respectively. The Qantas group not only offers nonstop flights from Brisbane to Melbourne but is also pursuing innovative fleet designs and current energy technologies to achieve zero emissions growth. In addition, the airline has phased out non-reusable cutlery. Jetstar's fleet features energy-efficient engines, resulting in lower GHG emissions.
