## Resource

Ryanair’s controversial “parental seat fee” is under fire from the UK’s competition watchdog, sparking outrage among families who say it’s unfair to pay extra just to sit next to your own child — especially when it’s the only major UK-based airline doing so. The airline dismisses the probe as baseless, arguing the fee is for reserving a specific seat, not for the child’s presence. As the investigation unfolds, it could reshape how budget airlines handle family seating — and whether such fees violate consumer protection laws.
