What do you think about this proposed new rule change? families traveling with children under 13 will be able to be seated next to their children for free. I think this is a great way to mitigate airlines having to move people after they booked , it will stop people from trying to steal seats once they get on the plane, and hopefully lower the amount of fights the gate agents deal with. The most important thing with this rule change is that adjacent seats have to be available when you book your tickets . If they are not available, they will refund you or rebook you on a different flight.
