United Gives Families More Options to Sit Together on Flights

Families flying United with children under 12 should have an easier time finding seats together.

This policy effects only those traveling in Economy and Basic Economy.

United Polaris, First Class and Economy Plus seats are not included in this change.

The policy change comes as President Joe Biden has putpressure on airlinesto better serve consumers.

Earlier this month, the administrationcalled for a ban on feesthat prevent families with young children from sitting together.

“Baggage fees are bad enough.

Airlines can’t treat your child like a piece of baggage.”
