Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of Transportation to establish a policy with respect to family seating on air transportation, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Fly Together Act, requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish a policy that directs air carriers to seat each young child (under 14 years of age) adjacent to an accompanying adult, to the greatest extent practicable, if adjacent seat assignments are available at any time after the ticket is issued and before the first passenger boards the flight. The bill also prohibits air carriers from charging any additional fees or costs beyond the ticket price to seat a young child next to an accompanying adult within the same class of service. However, the bill does not allow the Secretary to impose changes to an air carrier's open or flexible seating policy that already generally allows for adjacent family seating.
