The airline's new policy allows parents to sit next to their infants in the first class section of the aircraft and does not apply for other passengers traveling with infants. It also says that babies should be seated by themselves, but if you're traveling with more than one child under two years old, then one can be placed in an adult seat while another sits in a parent-child seat (which is no longer an option). The airline hopes this change will help ease congestion during busy times such as summer travel season when there are many families flying together. The move comes after frequent requests from customers who were unhappy with paying extra money when they were flying with young children on planes operated by American Airlines' competitors Delta Air Lines Inc., United Continental Holdings Inc., Southwest Airlines Co., Alaska Airlines Corp..

Airlines are already required by federal law to provide services for disabled passengers, including providing wheelchair assistance and transporting service animals in the cabin or cargo hold of an aircraft (as long as they do not exceed weight limits). Airlines must also accept unaccompanied minors boarding flights without charge until they turn 18 years old unless there's a medical reason why they should be placed under custody at the time of boarding.
The new rule applies only when sitting next to another adult passenger at no additional cost—not if you buy your child an extra seat or something like that."

American Airlines is responding to customer demand, which is why it's trying to be more competitive with its competitors. As a result, American Airlines says it will start charging parents an extra fee for sitting next to their kids on planes. The airline also says that it wants people's travel experience to be easier and more pleasant (and less stressful).

Parents on American Airlines won't have to pay more money just to sit with their kids on flights.
This is great news for families. Parents won't have to pay extra money just to sit next to their kids on flights. The change in policy means that American Airlines will no longer charge parents a fee of $25 per person when they book tickets online or over the phone.
This is one example of how airlines are trying to make it easier for passengers who want to travel with their children, although there are many other airlines offering discounts and free services for families with children as well.
Conclusion
The policy will be implemented before summer, according to American Airlines. The airline said it hopes that families will take advantage of the new policy and enjoy their time together while traveling.
