IF you want a flight ban that's MEANINGFUL, do this

  • 4 hours by train, not 2.5 hours

  • apply to ALL flights, inc. transfers and private jets

  • turn connecting flights into connecting trains with guaranteed passenger rights in case of delay

Anything LESS than that and it's gesture politics

@jon It’s a foot in the door and gets the idea in people’s heads which allows for increases in the future. No, it’s not enough, but dismissing first steps as just gestures is silly and shits on the people who worked hard to make it reality.

@WhiteCatTamer No. What was done in France was to engineer it deliberately to be ineffective. Knowing few people would look at the details.

@jon @WhiteCatTamer I had no idea that CDG was the reference TGV station and not Paris Montparnasse. It does only make sort-of sense for connecting flights. But who would take the train to CDG to get to Paris?
