With new stories surfacing daily about disorderly passengers being escorted off an aircraft or, worse, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing, countries recently passed legislation ensuring such passengers are punished to the fullest extent.

So far, 22 countries around the world ratified the Montreal Protocol 2014, which officially went into effect Jan. 1. Having 22 countries sign on was a requirement for the bill to go into effect because, in the past, the question of jurisdiction would arise depending on where the plane departs and arrives, and offenders would largely be unpunished.

If offenders cause enough of a disruption to cause the flight to reroute or make an emergency landing, thus inconveniencing other passengers, offenders can face fines of more than $200,000.

The United States and the United Kingdom also have their own regulations that allow local authorities to take over when an unruly passenger gets out of control.

Homer and Janet by Homer Review

The Marais District, covering swaths of Paris’ 3rd and 4th arrondissments, has a distinctively gritty glamour that reveals it to be one of the city’s great incubators for new French food, fashion and lifestyle trends. It is here Moïse Sfez took on the challenge of creating street food establishments Homer in 2017 and Janet by Homer in 2022, doing it in such a way they both transcend the novelty of being regional American comfort food offered at stylized lunch counters matching up with New England lobster shacks and New York delis. Overwhelming local response and Sfez winning the 2018 Lobster Roll World’s Championship title in Portland, Maine, solidified him as a Paris restaurateur and one of France’s hottest culinary stars.
