The Department of Transportation is shining a light on which airlines let families sit together on planes without paying a fee for the privilege.
The new dashboard aims to shame carriers that still charge families as President Biden pushes to get rid of “junk fees” that are attached to services such as cable television, flights and resort stays.
Many airlines do not provide the guarantee, so the Biden administration is drafting a rule requiring it. “We have been pressing airlines to guarantee family seating without tacking on extra charges, and now we’re seeing some airlines start to make this common-sense change,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.
