    There was something about France banning domestic flights that take less than 2(or 3?) hours by train.

    Which makes a shit ton of sense. The same stretch is not gonna be shorter by plane when you factor in the extra ceremonies you have to attend both before and after the flight, and the time it takes to get to and from wherever the airport is.

      Such short flights would be mostly connecting flights, so the check-in and customs overhead is a fixed constant anyway.
