Ryanair required at least one parent to sit with children aged two to 11 during flights and previously charged a fee for this service. The UK Competition and Markets Authority investigated whether the fee was unfair or violated consumer law. Ryanair ended its mandatory fee for family seating. According to one report, Ryanair was the only major airline operating in Britain that imposed such a fee. Different amounts were reported for the fee: approximately £8 per flight and approximately $10.70 each way per adult to allow up to four children to sit next to an accompanying adult. The discrepancy may reflect currency conversion or differing reporting periods. After ending the fee, Ryanair will allocate families who do not pay to reserve seats random seats together for free after check-in, likely toward the rear of the plane, according to Fox Business.
