I do, but not in the view of offsetting, but as an incentive system not to fly.
Like you, I usually have a moral dilemma about whether to fly or not to visit someone. To switch from a super hard and painful moral question I transform it into a money question by putting a price on carbon. I currently put it at around 250 USD/ton , an estimated "social cost of carbon", from an academic paper (also discussed by Future Perfect). It is on the upper end, but it serves my purpose and ensures I have a strong incentive not to fly unless really worth it.
Instead of paying this money to classical offsetting projects, I donate it to the most effective climate charities identified by Founder Pledge plus the Good Food Institute
