EU to Ban Fees for Parents Sitting With Children on Flights
An EU reform of passenger rights, agreed on June 12, will prohibit airlines from charging extra fees for parents to sit next to their children under 14. While plans to reduce compensation for flight delays and cancellations were abandoned due to strong opposition from lawmakers, websites selling tickets will now be required to display prices inclusive of hand luggage. This updated regulation maintains the existing compensation system for passengers experiencing significant delays and also includes provisions against charging for minor booking corrections.
