UK to ban airlines charging parents to sit with children

UK airlines will be banned from charging parents extra fees to sit next to their children on flights. The measure targets seat allocation charges that have forced families to pay more or risk being split up during booking. The move has drawn attention in travel and business circles, with discussion linking it to wider scrutiny of airline booking fees and air passenger costs.
Why now: New government action on family seating fees affects many travellers and touches on ongoing concern about airline charges.
