Oh, and another thing, while long haul flights won't be impacted, self-driving cars and trucks will obliterate overland short hop flights, and for trucking probably medium range (1000miles) as well. 12 hours of driving 7pm to 7am overnight at 50mph average is 600 miles, and at 70mph with some convergent infrastructure would be 840 miles.
