Abstract

This rulemaking would increase protections for families when flying with children. It would require airlines to seat children age 13 and under adjacent to an accompanying adult at no additional cost, subject to limited conditions. This rule would also require airlines to provide the choice of rebooking or a refund for the child and other persons on the same reservation to mitigate the harm to consumers if an airline does not provide adjacent seats to a young child and an accompanying adult.
