Amsterdam is a pleasant overnight ferry away; which, yeah, probably takes longer than flying but also you get to sleep in comfort and don't have to deal with any airports. It probably costs more than Ryan Air, but then food I want to eat costs more than McDonalds too...
I think life experience and awareness of conditions that People Poorer Than Me live in may well be improved by twenty hours on a Ukranian train. Might actually *learn something* about other places, which you were suggesting as a Good Reason for taking foreign holidays at great cost to the environment...
Actual rationing would be hard and unpopular, yes. We could try the carbon credit thingy (where you can sell your allowance if you want to); that might work.
