Moving to Italy away from your family is a choice, and anyone who actually cares about climate change should think about the cost to the environment when making that sort of decision. And the privilege angle is a joke when we're talking about Westerners retiring to Italy and flying back and forth.
Gee, just get a job! Why didn't I think of that?

Yes you are. Grandparents wanting to fly over to see grandchildren. FFS nothing wrong with that. Some people not privileged to live nearby their ageing parents. Or able to afford to double the time off to drive/train somewhere thousands of miles away.
Maybe get a job you bum, and stop moaning on the internet.
I don’t like flying that much but it is a necessity on many occasions, especially for the odd long weekend city-break in New York.
