If you want to reduce air travel for environmental reasons, then tax it more.

Shaming individuals doesn't seem to be productive or helpful.

Air travel works for people if the benefits outweigh the costs. The only thing that changes behavior is to change the costs.

And even if costs were 10x there are still plenty of people who will fly tons, because it would still be economically productive. There are always going to be people who fly 10x more than others, because certain jobs and roles simply require it.
