Ryanair Investigated by UK CMA Over Parent-Child Seating Fees
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched an investigation into Ryanair over its practice of charging parents a mandatory fee to sit next to their child on flights. The fee, typically £8 each way, is required by the airline's terms for children aged 2-11. The CMA is examining whether this charge violates consumer protection laws regarding safety and disability obligations.
