So this is definitely some good news. Three U
S Airlines agreeing to do away with family seating fees
. So these are the ones you need to know
. American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Frontier Airlines making
the commitment according to the Department of Transportation. And
it does mean that parents can sit next to Children
, ages 13 years and younger on those air carriers
without paying for extra fees if the seats are already
available next to one another. When they book Transportation
Secretary Pete Buttigieg is saying that we've been pressing airlines
to guarantee family seating without tacking on extra charges.
And now we're seeing some airlines start to make this
common sense change. I think it does make sense
. So in a review, the government finding that
no airlines previously guaranteed fee free family seating, believe
it or not. And now the government unveiling a
new dashboard to monitor airline commitments and pushing carriers to
include the guarantee in their customer service plans.
