　　[Travel]

　Some people say cheap air trave! is good because it enables ordinary people to travel, while others argue that it is bad for the environment. Discuss both views,and include your opinion.　

　　　In the pust air travel was only for the elite - the rich, the powerf-ul, the privileged. Today, hundreds of millions of people are able to travel around the world for work or pleasure. As Air Asia's slo　　gan puts it“Now everyone can fly." However, the price to be paid for this easier travel may be damage to the environment.　In this essay, I will examine some of the arguments for and　　against cheap air travel.

　　There are plenty of accusations against cheap flights. Critics of　budget air travel claim that the emissions from jet fuel are dam-aging the atmosphere. This is particularly serious at the higher　　levels of the atmosphere where modern jects fly. A single short　fight from Dubai to Mumbai can produce a much carbon diox-ide as one month's driving for a family. The environmental cost　　continues when the tourists land, as hotels, leisure and other faci-lities are very significant polluters and consume a lot of resources.A third point of course is that this travel is mostly unneessary'　　and people would simply stay at home if the flights were not so　cheap.

　However, the proponents of cheap air travel, such as Ireland's　Michael O'Leary, have their own powerful counterclaims. First,　they reject the allegation that jets contribute significanly to glo-　　bal warming. They point out that modern jets are much quieter　and much more fuel-efficient than in the past. Secondly, many　countries already have carbon taxes or levies ineluded in the　　price of the airline ticket or aviation fuel, This can offset the　carbon produced during the flight. In addition, most of the　arguments against cheap flights are bused on the belief that it is　　aceptable for certain people to fly, but not for ordinary people.　In other words, the wealthy or powerful would like to deprive　ordinary people of the right to travel, to see new places and meet　　new people.

  　In conclusion, cheap air travel is not a clear-cut issue, but a　political, economie and environmental minefield. In my opinion,　　everyone should have the opportunity to travel, but we do need　　some monitoring of the effect on the environment, both in the air　and on the ground.
