New government rules will stop airlines charging parents for children under 14

New government plans will stop airlines from charging parents extra to sit next to their children under 14. Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that new regulations form part of an initiative to tackle "little charges that add up" for families. The Department for Transport says it can currently cost up to £104 for a parent and child to sit together on a return journey.
