But when will the CAA mandate its guidance re children, that was referred to in the article!!

I'm surprised at those figures. IME it's 100% on Ryanair (since a year or 2 ago), and 0% on other airlines!

Of course depends what "together" actually means. If separated by an aisle isn't "together" then it changes the equation. A family of 4 could never be "together" on a 3x3 plane!

I understand that effectively they do mandate it as if the airlines don't write it in to their operating procedures they're not granted a license to fly in the UK.
