Andy Burnham says airline fees are "little charges that add up"

Government plans are advancing to prevent airlines from charging extra for parents to sit with their children on flights, and to eliminate fees for correcting minor booking errors. These proposed changes, part of the Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill currently before Parliament, aim to address what Prime Minister Andy Burnham describes as accumulating costs for families. The legislation would mandate that children under 14 be seated with an accompanying adult without additional charge, a practice that could previously cost up to £104 for a round trip.
