Airlines must seat children under 14 with adults free, government announces

Government plans will stop airlines charging parents extra to sit with children under 14, requiring them to be seated next to an adult free of charge. The rule is expected before next year’s summer holidays and also stops fees for fixing booking name mistakes. Prime Minister Andy Burnham called the charges a "rip-off" that add up for families.
