DOT proposes ban on airline fees for seating families together
Briefly

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.
As somebody who has personally experienced flying with toddlers...families don't need any additional stresses or costs for flying, on top of how demanding it can be to be a parent flying with your kids.
The new proposal would apply to families traveling with children aged 13 or younger, ensuring adjacent seating within 48 hours of ticket purchase or offering a full refund.
Transportation Secretary Buttigieg highlighted this as part of the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to protect consumer rights, having already refunded $4 billion to airline passengers.
