France to ban some domestic flights where train available, if train ride is under 2.5 hours.
This will not affect people flying into CDG and transferring to short flights. It bans flights where you are not transferring. Flights from the Orly airport to Bordeaux, Nantes and Lyon are banned because you can do those journeys in under 2.5 hours by train.
From the article: French MPs have voted to suspend domestic airline flights on routes that can be travelled by direct train in less than two and a half hours, as part of a series of climate and environmental measures. It will mean the end of short internal flights from Orly airport, south of Paris, to Nantes and Bordeaux among others, though connecting flights through Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport, north of the French capital, will continue.
