Yes, but the amount of people "flying around" is pretty small, and the cost of economy air travel is next to nothing in comparison to daily commutes by car. Keep in mind you share that plane with hundreds of people.
The impact of one billionare jetting around the world for fun alone, is pretty small as well.
But if all the billionares are doing it, it already adds up to a impressive number.
And if you choose to jet around the world for vacation - then this alone is pretty neglectible, too. But all the other people also doing it isn't.
And yes, there are more people in a plane. Just like in a train or bus. Yet they are way more efficient. Only very few people driver alone over 1000 km for vacation.
This is true and I agree, but when it comes to solving problems, you should start with the most obvious and easy solutions first. The low-hanging fruit. The amount of transportation by plane is so incredibly small as compared to car that IMO it shouldn't be a starting point.
We should look to lowering our plastic consumption, electrifying American homes, and building transportation infrastructure so walking, biking, and public transit become more viable.

Or all of it and reduce flying as well?
At least until we made serious progress in the energy sector.
