The French have already banned short flights within their country since their train system is so convenient. Also, the transportation system is Europe is far superior to what we have here. You can get anywhere in Europe by train easily. In the summer of 2022, Spain was even offering free train transportation at times to bolster their tourism industry.

It would be a lot harder for Americans to travel if they had to limit themselves to four round-trip flights in a lifetime. The tourist industry would suffer greatly.

I don't think this will ever be enacted in France, and it's certainly a bad idea for the US.
