But we're talking about passengers, not cargo, so the relevant numbers are CO2 per passenger-km.
Which changes the efficiency - because while you can cram people tightly for a 12h flight, you can't do that for a few weeks journey.

Not when you're hitching a ride on a cargo ship, no, like the person you're replying to said.
But that's not a real alternative - you can't redirect all isn't traffic to hitch a ride in cargo ships.
