Episode Details

Ryanair’s just dropped a major family-friendly twist: no more paying extra to sit next to your kids on flights. Triggered by UK regulators who questioned whether charging parents for adjacent seats was fair, the airline’s now letting families skip seat selection and pay nothing extra — seats will be assigned at check-in. CEO Michael O’Leary admits it’s a reluctant move, mostly to appease regulators, and warns families might end up in the back of the plane with last-minute seat info. While Ryanair claims revenue won’t take a hit, the move clearly aligns them with industry norms — and parents will finally breathe easier on summer trips.
