Ryanair Drops £8 Charge for Families to Sit Together

Ryanair will no longer charge families roughly £8 per flight to ensure children aged 2–11 sit next to their parents. UK regulators questioned the fee in June 2026; within two weeks, the airline scrapped it. Ryanair had claimed the reserved seat was needed for safety, yet still charged for it. Italy won a similar battle in 2024, signaling Europe-wide pressure on this money-maker.
