Biden Proposes Ban On Airlines Charging Families To Sit Together
HuffPost
The administration has rolled out a rule that would prevent airlines from charging flyers extra to sit next to their kids.
Families tired of getting hit with fees when they fly might be getting relief soon from the Biden administration.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced Thursday that the agency is proposing a new rule that would bar airlines from charging flyers extra just to sit next to their children. Carriers that don’t offer families adjacent seats could face fines if the rule goes into effect.
“The idea that parents ought to be seated next to their own children on a flight is common sense and also seems like something that ought to be standard practice,” Buttigieg said on a call with reporters.
He added that, as a father who’s traveled with 2-year-old twins, he thinks flying as a family is challenging enough.
“Families don’t need any additional stresses or costs,” Buttigieg said.
