Yup — don’t let your airline tell you otherwise, but families with young kids (12 and under) have the “legal right” to fly together and not be separated. All thanks to the revised Airline Reauthorization Act passed by Congress in 2016, with many updated rules, aircraft safety and travel requirements. One US airline recently placed a 2 year old in a seat several rows behind mom to sit with strangers — and thats a big “NO NO”!!! Check with the FAA web site for current travelers rights information.
