For families looking to book seats together on a flight, United Airlines has charged extra fees in the past. It could make it difficult for parents to afford to sit with their children, making booking a flight more stressful and time-consuming. The airline, however, has now recognized that families need to sit together and has made changes to facilitate this.
Under the new policy, families with children under 18 will automatically be seated together when booking a flight. Parents will not have to pay extra fees to ensure they can sit with their children during the flight. United Airlines will also try to seat families with young children in the same row or adjacent rows.
Flying can be a stressful experience for many children, particularly those flying for the first time or nervous about being separated from their parents during the flight. By ensuring that families are seated together, United Airlines is helping make the flying experience less stressful and more comfortable for parents and children. This change is beneficial not only for parents but also for the children themselves.

In addition to these changes, United Airlines has also introduced a new feature on its website that allows families to indicate easily that they will be traveling with children when booking their flights. It will help the airline accommodate families and ensure they are seated together.
Overall, United Airlines’ decision to make it easier for families to book seats together for free is a welcome change that will benefit many families looking to travel together. It is a step in the right direction for airlines to recognize the needs of families and make air travel more accessible and comfortable for all.
