the words beggars + belief didn't even begin touch it.

I'm with Vybik here, I'm not sure why that beggars belief. If you believe that flying is unsustainable and massively destructive, then why not choose to use the train instead?

Personally, I suspect a three day trans-European train journey followed by a cruise across the Med would be a great way to celebrate my birthday. Perhaps, in their rush to portray Ms. Dean as authoritarian ("would not allow them to fly") the media failed to realise that she and her family are capable of enjoying a more sedate and scenic trip than the usual 3-day city break from EasyJet?
