Except for infants. Right now a child up to 2 can be held on a lap. Under this policy, families would now be paying for the baby (born and unborn - pregnant women would be charged more too).

Here's another good bashing on the airlines. I have a three year old and a couple years ago she flew as a lap-rider on United. So what you do there is buy the paying tickets (online) and then call the airline to add the name of the lap-child onto a ticket.

I called the airline talked to an American got the addition done in about 2 minutes on the phone. Six months later, same deal, still United, called and was transferred to a call center in India. It took literally 25 minute on the phone and they still screwed it up. They added the baby on for only two of the three legs.
