Fly Together Act

The Fly Together Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4193, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to address the issue of families being separated on flights due to overbooking or other circumstances.

The Fly Together Act requires airlines to make reasonable efforts to ensure that children under the age of 13 are seated next to an accompanying family member over the age of 13. This means that airlines must prioritize seating arrangements to keep families together, rather than separating them throughout the plane.

The bill also requires airlines to notify passengers at the time of booking if there is a possibility that they may be separated from their family members during the flight. This gives passengers the opportunity to make alternative arrangements if necessary. Overall, the Fly Together Act aims to improve the flying experience for families by reducing the likelihood of being separated on flights. This legislation has received bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a common-sense measure to protect the well-being of families traveling together.
