'Flying with children can be hard enough without airlines emptying parents' pockets, charging extra fees so that there's a guarantee that their children can sit next to them,' Sen. Markey said on Saturday while at Boston Logan Airport.
Sen. Markey, of Massachusetts, was at Boston Logan International Airport on Saturday to announce several pieces of legislation in the works, including his"Families Fly Together Act" that he plans to reintroduce in the coming days and calls on airlines to stop charging"ridiculous" fees so parents can sit with their children.
The senator went on to note that passengers were rightly furious at Southwest for the mass cancelations, but said the truth is that the airline industry has been"broken for years." "Children and parents shouldn't have to choose between unaffordable fees or separation anxiety of flying alone," the senator added.
