Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Your Air Travel

Think about the trip - Can you combine it with another or get more done on one trip? 
Train - For some trips the train may be a good choice for you.
Fly nonstop - Nonstop flights are better than connecting flights (for many reasons). 
When you get there - Do some research ahead of time to find better ground travel options (shuttles, transit, trains, etc.) at your destination. 
Lodging - Ask your hotel about their environmental commitment and steps they’re taking to reduce, offset.
While you’re away - Turn your stuff off.  Turn down your thermostat and your water heater; turn off your electronics (even smarter: unplug them to protect from electrical storms).  What’s the point of things being on with no one there?
More tips - Take a look at these green travel pics.
