Ryanair investigated over charging parents to sit with children

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating Ryanair over charges it imposes on parents to sit next to their child on flights. The watchdog said the fees, typically £8 each way, may be unfair under consumer law. Ryanair called the investigation 'bogus' and insisted its family seating policy fully complies with the law. It is the only major airline flying from the UK to impose such a charge, the CMA said.
