Reasons to fly | Transport costs | ‘Sadmin’ music | Inventive chicken feed
It’s all very well for Fiona Henderson to tell us that we shouldn’t be flying (Letters, 1 August). I’m assuming she hasn’t got close family living in parts of the world where travelling by air is the only way of visiting them. I have young grandchildren living in the US and I miss them desperately. There are thousands of families across the UK in the same position. FaceTime is a wonderful thing, but nothing compares to hugging them for real.

• I couldn’t agree more that we should stop flying, but the cost of alternatives are extortionate. Make rail and bus travel cheaper, and people will cut back on flights. Having travelled from Inverkeithing in Fife to Bangkok by train, even long distances are possible.
