Basic economy is fine if you're a solo airline passenger willing to roll the dice on a middle seat. For families, the lowest airfare class can be problematic.
"Children need a responsible adult around and whether it's just so they can go to the bathroom in the middle of the flight or if there's an emergency, it's not safe to have a child without somebody there to take care of them," said Anna Laitin, director of financial policy for Consumer Reports' advocacy arm.
If there's an emergency evacuation and a child is seated 10 rows behind their parent,"no one believes that parent is going to calmly move forward and get off the plane" without their child, Laitin said.In 2016, the family seating issue aboard airlines was addressed in a Federal Aviation Administration bill passed by Congress that called upon airlines to look at seating children 13 and younger next to an accompanying family member at no additional cost.
About a year later, the DOT responded with information it had gathered from airlines and enclosed 136 complaints it had collected from consumers over a period of about two and a half years.
Wow!!!
Yes. Duh.
Why? If you decide to have children there are some associated costs.
Of course
Unless the parents are sitting first class...then hose kids should be back in coach or parents should fly with them in coach. Nothing worse w respect to flying overseas, trying to get some sleep and a toddler is screaming...
