  1. A con too far for me. I’ve decided—in the interests of doing my bit against climate change—that I’ll likely never fly again. Although I suppose it could get to NZ by ship, the time and expense are not worth it.

    That’s the primary reason I won’t be in Dublin, either.

  2. @Andrew, if you fly Air New Zealand you can offset your carbon footprint for a modest fee when you buy your ticket.
