PARENTS will no longer be stung with rip-off fees just to sit next to their children on flights.
Airlines will be forced to seat under 14s beside a mum, dad or an accompanying adult for free.
It could save families up to £104 on a return trip.
Passengers will also be able to fix simple spelling mistakes on bookings without being hit with charges of up to £40.
PM Andy Burnham said: “People are fed up with these little charges that add up.
“So I’m putting a stop to them.”
“This is what our everyday fixes are all about.
“Giving people room to breathe by tackling the small irritations that catch people out.
“They waste their time and cost them money.”
Ministers are also drawing up a system to help airlines identify repeat troublemakers.
It comes after more than 1,000 serious disruptive incidents were logged last year.
It could make it easier to extend bans on passengers who repeatedly cause issues.
