In my specific case, I was looking into travels between Beppu (Japan) and Osaka. There is a direct ferry line, but other routes exist of course (also trains).

I wonder how a ferry and a plane would compare

    Much travel is business, some is visiting-people.

    If you want you can push to criminalize foreign-holiday-by-air, or put heavy fines on it…

    That isn’t my business.

    I’ve NEVER seen people distinguishing-properly between different subsets of travel, though.

    & yes, there are people who want ALL air-travel eradicated: they won’t know that the carbon-footprint for an efficient prop-lane is significantly lower, at eco-cruise, than a car on a highway, per passenger-km.

    Powerboats/hydroplaning is sooo drastically less-efficient, yet I don’t see people ( sanely ) wanting that reduced.

    People not differentiating between jet & turboprop & piston-prop & electric ( only short-haul flights, obviously ), is normal.

    & ideology displaces considered-discussion, consistently: pushy-soundbites win, system-understanding gets disallowed.

    Normal, on this world, now…
