Ryanair has axed its family seating policy – but kids’ fees still add up

business

The Guardian reports that Ryanair has ended its practice of charging parents to sit next to their children. But don't celebrate just yet—depending on which airline you fly, hidden fees and taxes when traveling with kids can still be substantial. In fact, some families end up paying more for a baby on their lap than they did for their own seat. The policies vary: some airlines offer discounts for children over two, while others charge the full adult fare.
