Gen Y is travelling more than previous young generations, not less.
The media and public still believe Gen Y is travelling less. Gen Y is indeed driving less. But they are riding trains, pushing train ridership to ever higher record ridership levels.
So we wondered if Gen Y is flying more, or less, than previous young generations. The answer is MORE.
Julie Coates found data that Gen Y takes 3.9 leisure flights a year. That's even higher than 40-45 year olds, who take 3.5 leisure flights a year. One study of airline flight attendants found their "ideal passenger" is a Gen Yer. And Gen Y accounts for the biggest growth segment in plane passengers right now.
