The White House is trying to ban fees for families sitting together on a plane

The US Department of Transportation is proposing a rule to ban extra fees for families with children under 13 to sit together on flights. This rule aims to alleviate the financial burden on families and ensure they can sit together without additional costs. Airlines would need to seat children next to their parents for free if adjacent seats are available, or offer refunds or rebooking options if not. The proposal could save families significant amounts, but airlines are pushing back, leading to legal challenges. The Transportation Department is gathering public comments before finalizing the rule.
