[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congress needs to pass legislation that airlines may not assign a solo seat to child under 10 who has an adult traveling on the same flight. Something like that. Then the airlines will suddenly figure it out. [/quote]

The Biden administration was actually working on this. There was a proposed rule entitling families with kids under 13 to sit together. DOT had horrible stories/complaints about airlines telling passengers to suck it up, that they should’ve purchased more expensive tickets if they needed to sit next to their 2 year old so badly, or that it was on them the find other passengers to switch. (Often families had been separated through no fault of their own— cancelled flights, getting bumped, etc.) DOT also noted it’s hard on other passengers who probably don’t want to sit next to an unknown 4 year old or switch their seats. So everyone loses.

This is entirely on the airlines but they put it on passengers to fight it out like crabs in a bucket. And it looks like other passengers are blaming the families instead of realizing that the airlines are creating this horrible situation, while making record profits.

Highly doubt anything will happen under the new administration, obviously. [/quote]
