I have no idea how effective it may be at influencing climate change, and suspect that it's a great opportunity for state bureaucrats to meddle and tax.

I would not like a compulsory offset charged by the government, but travel agents and websites encouraging people who fly to pay an offset to someone like Climate Care at the time of booking would be good.

I'm not sure. My thoughts are that carbon offsetting may be effective to an extent, but the pressing priority should be to restructure our lives so that there's less need to use planes. That includes not just our personal use, but also, for example, taking it into account when choosing what food to buy (based on whether it is likely to have been imported by plane).
