  • Are there alternative means of transport from Chicago to Phoenix that are more sustainable?

    Phoenix is about 1753.2 mi from Chicago. Flights offer one of the most sustainable options for travelers looking to travel the distance.

The only downside of trains is the longer travel times you can endure to complete the journey.

  • What can I do to promote sustainability when flying from Chicago to Phoenix?

More so, these planes emit lower amounts of carbon to the environment during a flight. In addition to this, you can also identify an economy flight. These flights tend to be carbon-efficient since they carry more passengers in their space. Therefore, these are some of the key identifiers of sustainable airlines at the airport.
