Ryanair is currently under investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for its policy of charging parents mandatory fees to sit with their children on flights. The CMA is examining whether these seating fees, which are intended to ensure compliance with child safety and disability-related obligations, are unfair under consumer law. According to Ryanair's terms and conditions, at least one parent or guardian must sit with children aged between 2-11, which incurs a fee of approximately £8 (around $10) per flight.
