Wagner Re-Introduces Fly Together Act to Ensure Families Are Seated Together During Flights

Washington, D.C.  – Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO), Chair of the House Suburban Caucus, mother of three, and grandmother of three young children, released the following statement after she re-introduced the Fly Together Act, legislation to ensure young children are seated together with their family members on flights:

“Young children should be seated with their parents on an airplane – period.  Parents should not have to choose between sitting with their children or saving money on an already costly trip. And it’s not just a cost issue for parents, it’s a safety issue.  Airplanes are often unfamiliar for young children, and they need their parents next to them to prevent potentially unsafe or stressful situations. 

“Airlines should not be charging parents fees to sit with their children, and my Fly Together Act will eliminate those discriminatory charges so families can have confidence they will be together during air travel.”
