Ryanair Investigated for Charging Parents to Sit with Kids

Ryanair may be breaking the law by charging parents to sit with their kids on flights.

The budget airline is being looked into for this practice.

The Competition and Markets Authority will decide if this is fair. Ryanair says the investigation is not real and is a waste of time.

Ryanair makes parents pay to sit with their kids aged 2-11. This costs about £8 each way. Other passengers can choose to pay for a seat.

Parents must pay to sit with their kids on Ryanair flights.

The investigation will see if Ryanair is charging parents for something the airline must do by law. Ryanair is the only major UK airline doing this.

Other airlines let kids sit with parents without extra cost or automatically give them seats together.

Ryanair's boss called the investigation fake.

The investigation will also see if Ryanair tells customers about all costs when they book. The CMA has not decided if Ryanair broke the law yet.

The CMA wants to make sure families are not charged too much. They will look at how Ryanair presents its costs to customers.

The CMA has told businesses to show customers the total cost upfront.

Ryanair says its seating policy is fair and saves families money.

Ryanair claims it does not charge parents to sit with their kids, only for one adult seat.

Ryanair says the investigation is not real and is a way for the government to pretend it cares about consumers.
