Exactly one year ago, a group of wayward Quebec influencers and reality television stars was floundering in Mexico after their mid-air, mid-COVID debauchery on a Sunwing flight to Cancun made headlines across Canada. Quebecers might remember some of the story's principal characters, namely eccentric trip organizer James William Awad and the woman seen on video vaping aboard the aircraft, aspiring pilot Vanessa Sicotte.

Sicotte shared her reaction to the parody with Narcity Québec.

The Sunwing party flight certainly is the gift that keeps on giving! After being issued a total of 24 penalties following the Montreal to Cancun flight on December 30, 2021, Transport Canada has announced that a total of 37 passengers have been issued an additional 18 fines, totalling a whopping $59,500. "The safety and security of travellers and transportation workers is paramount to Transport Canada," the department stated in an April 28 press release. Transport Canada has been investigating the Montreal-Cancun flight for months, having issued an array of fines, and it seems as if there are more penalties to go around.
