Smoke in cockpit forces Budapest-Lyon flight's emergency landing in Austria
VIENNA (Reuters) - Smoke in the cockpit forced a plane carrying 143 passengers and six crew to the eastern French city of Lyon from Budapest to make an emergency landing in Graz, Austria's second city, Austrian police said on Monday.
"No people were injured in the incident. The cause of the smoke is currently unclear," police in the Austrian state of Styria, of which Graz is the capital, said in a statement.
The statement did not specify which airline the plane belonged to but the only flight from Budapest on Monday listed on Lyon-Saint Exupery airport's website was EasyJet flight 4400.
EasyJet's website said the flight was diverted to Graz and landed there at 3:25 p.m. (1325 GMT). It also listed a "follow-on flight" to Lyon from Graz scheduled for 5 p.m. but estimated to depart at 9:45 p.m.
Flight tracking website Flightradar24, which EasyJet features on its website, said the plane that landed in Graz was an Airbus 319.

The status symbol items CMOs sported at this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity
Happy Saturday! A 51-year-old woman says she's in the best shape of her life after ditching cardio and getting into strength training. Here's how she did it. On the agenda: A dietitian explains why eating dessert can help you lose more weight and keep it off. A heated debate about location sharing is dividing generations. Creatine is a longevity wonder supplement — and it's not just for gym bros. The new American dream? Buying and renting out vacation homes in Italy. But first: Bonjour de Cannes! This week's dispatch The status symbols CMOs are into More than 15,000 marketing leaders and creatives descended on the French Riviera for this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France. And while the thousands of chief marketing officers traded industry secrets and attended panels and networking events, I spent my time on the lookout for the status symbols they were wearing. You know … the important reporting we all want to know about. Right? Right. After spending six days with this group, I noticed two beloved items over and over again. One wasn't a shocker, while the other was a nice surprise. The first status symbol I noticed as soon as I touched down at the airport in Nice, before trekking the 45 minutes to Cannes, was that most of the marketers had Away luggage. It's not a new hot item, but it's easy to see why the brand is beloved by these busy professionals. They have a sleek, minimalist design. They're quite light, around 7.5 pounds, making it easy to head to Cannes or any other locale, and they have wheels that turn 360 degrees. Another travel item I saw time and again throughout my week in sunny Cannes was Celine sunglasses. The French designer's accessory is the ultimate "if you know, you know" product, as they're not deemed trendy. Instead, because of their quality — premium acetate and gold hardware — the sunnies were a favorite among marketers. During my panel at The FQ Lounge, Jennifer Wilson, the CMO of Lowe's, had also noticed the trend and said she had to pick up a pair, which range in price from $300 to more than $500, before she left France. Just desserts You don't have to cut out sweet treats to eat healthier. Having dessert or other favorite foods can actually help dieters reach weight-loss goals, Tara Schmidt, lead dietitian for the Mayo Clinic diet, told BI. The key is moderation. "Allowing for a balanced way of including your favorite foods, a planned indulgence, really helps people feel less deprived," Schmidt said. See her tips for indulging healthier. Do you want to share your location with me? You're likely to get a different answer depending on who you ask. Sharing your location with friends and family has become a heated debate among generations. BI spoke to people from all age groups to find out why. Gen Z is generally chill about it, with some citing convenience as a reason. Gen X is indifferent, seeing the pros and cons. Millennials, on the other hand, are more divided, with some saying they outright hated it or felt no need for it. To share or not to share. The creatine craze is more than just hype Researchers typically have a healthy mistrust of supplements, but creatine is the rare exception. Evidence is piling up about its positive effects on your body, brain, and longevity. Gym bros love creatine because it helps build muscle, but it's not just for bulking up. Early research suggests it can support hormonal health for both women and men. New research suggests creatine can help with brain performance, too. Plus, it's relatively inexpensive. Il (nuovo) sogno americano The new American dream includes buying and managing property outside your main residence. Italy, which boasts Mediterranean charm, a slower pace of life, and plenty of inexpensive real estate, is a prime target for American buyers. Plus, homeowners can personally enjoy their investments when they're not renting them out. It's a way of combining passive income with a familiar place to stay on vacation. Three Americans shared what it's like. What we're watching this weekend "A Minecraft Movie": One of the biggest movies of the year is now on Max.

New book details family's two-year sailing journey to the Caribbean islands
A Penticton mother has turned a life-changing experience into a new book, chronicling the two years she, her husband, and their three young children spent living aboard a 45-foot sailboat in the Caribbean. Seeking relief from the stress and grind of running a successful home renovation business near Quebec City, Annie Jomphe and her husband made the bold decision to completely change their lives. They sold most of their possessions, bought a sailboat, and set off on the adventure of a lifetime—thousands of kilometres away from their old routine. Now living in Penticton since 2018, Jomphe is the author of Sailing Back to Life, a 300-page memoir detailing her family's two-year journey on the open sea. The book, released last week, is the English version of the same title originally published in French five years ago. Jomphe and her husband, Martin, both originally from Quebec, lived in Canmore, Alberta for about seven years before finally deciding to pursue a radical lifestyle change. The idea of sailing had been years in the making. Their journey began in early 2016. When they set sail, their children were just 5, 6, and 7 years old. 'We were super excited—and in my experience, when parents are excited, it's not hard to get the kids excited too,' she said. Although they had what many would consider an ideal life—good jobs, financial stability, a beautiful home, and three healthy children—something was missing. 'From the outside, people thought we were absolutely crazy,' Jomphe recalled. 'But inside, we were empty. We weren't living the life we truly wanted—we were living the life we thought we were supposed to live. After five years of working non-stop, we forgot who we were and what we valued. Our lives felt like a pressure cooker. We needed a reset.' As lovers of the outdoors, the couple considered many options before deciding that life on a sailboat made the most sense. 'All we were doing in Quebec was working and making money, but we lost sight of ourselves,' she said. 'We needed something extraordinary to reconnect—with each other and with life.' Remarkably, neither Jomphe nor her husband had any sailing experience before embarking on their voyage. 'You can imagine what our parents thought,' she said, laughing. 'But we just did it. We were on the boat 24/7 and had to learn as we went.' They launched just south of Montreal, eventually sailing through Florida and the Bahamas before arriving in Bonaire, off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. 'There's something about the Caribbean islands that's just so relaxing, caring, and beautiful,' she said. After years of meticulously scheduled business life, the family embraced the freedom of spontaneity. 'When we left, we had absolutely no plan. We just wanted to breathe,' she said. 'We learned quickly to let go. The Bahamas was the only destination we had firmly in mind.' Living on a sailboat came with its challenges—particularly feeding a family of five. They stocked up on dry goods that could last the entire first year, including rice, beans, and pasta, and later restocked for the second year. 'We learned to be self-sufficient and how to manage our water and resources,' she said. 'We made grocery shopping part of the adventure—taking the dinghy to shore and exploring ports with the kids.' At times, supplies were low, especially on smaller islands that relied on infrequent shipments. But they adapted. 'A few times, there wasn't much to eat, but we managed,' she said. Despite the challenges, their children thrived. 'The kids were absolutely amazing,' she said. 'They were more resilient than I was. While I struggled with the lack of structure, they embraced the freedom. It was beautiful—they inspired me to let go.' The voyage was about more than travel. It was a mission to escape the rat race, reconnect as a family, and rediscover what really matters. 'After any trip, you come back on a high, but reality eventually sinks in,' she said. 'It took me a long time to settle back into real life. But I was so much happier afterward.' Not every moment on the water was serene. 'One of the scariest—and most humbling—moments came when we went shark fishing. We were stung by jellyfish, and my son cut his foot badly—there was blood everywhere,' she recalled. 'We also weathered some serious storms. It really grounds you and reminds you how small we are in nature.' The original French version of Sailing Back to Life was published in 2020 and sold well across Quebec and Canada. The English translation, five years in the making, was released on June 10. While the book primarily focuses on their two-year sailing adventure, it also reflects on the pressures that led them to make such a drastic change. 'Writing the book made me realize how important the trip was for finding true happiness again,' she said. 'I'm grateful every single day. That journey helped us regain the freedom to live the life we truly want. It's the little things that matter—not money or a big raise.' Today, Jomphe's three children are teenagers and enjoying life in the Okanagan. 'We chose Penticton for the weather and the beauty—and we love it here. I can't see us living anywhere else,' she said. Ironically, the family hasn't sailed since returning—but they're hoping to change that. 'It's on our list,' she said, smiling. 'We're looking at a future trip to French Polynesia.' Jomphe and her husband now run Sitka Concept Inc., a home renovation business. Sailing Back to Life is self-published and available for purchase on Amazon at Error!
