Summary
Ryanair just dropped the price for family seating — parents flying with kids under 12 can now sit together for free, ditching the previous $13.50 per flight fee for what they called a “mandatory family seat.” The change follows pressure from the Competition and Markets Authority, which investigated the charges — a move Ryanair initially dismissed as “bogus” but now reluctantly accepts as an industry standard. Seats will be assigned toward the back of the plane, and while exact assignments aren’t known until check-in, families can finally travel without extra costs. Money expert Martin Lewis called it a major win — making budget travel a little less stressful for families.
