Kick the buckle! Turkey's new rule could leave you high and dry 🛬
Buckle up, travelers! Turkish Airlines has implemented a new in-flight regulation that'll slap a fine on you if you don't listen. Now, cabin crew will order passengers to stay seated until the seat belt sign is off, promoting discipline and awareness.
According to reports, Turkish Airlines has already notified their flight attendants about this novel rule. If you get up, wander the cabin, or tamper with the overhead bins before the plane comes to a complete stop, you might be deemed a disruptive passenger, possibly slapped with an administrative fine.
But wait till 2024 🗓️! Russian legislators from LDPR party, with Yaroslav Nilov at the helm of the labor committee, could turn the heat up on unruly passengers even more. They plan to beef up penalties for on-board misconduct, according to "RIA Novosti."
Under the proposed bill, smoking on a flight would net you a fine of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles, ignoring the captain's orders -- 8,000 to 12,000 rubles, and minor hooliganism -- 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. Thinking of flying sauced? Be prepared for a fine of 5,000 to 10,000 rubles.
The current fines, the lawmakers assert, are "simply too low" to deter air hooligans. At present, the fine for minor misbehavior is from 500 to 1,000 rubles, for smoking or intoxication -- 500 to 1,500 rubles, and disobeying the captain's orders -- 2,000 to 5,000 rubles.
