Just because I am probably missing something. They’re being charged double because they need to travel with a care assistant. Are the options

Travel without the assistant (understandably impossible to do)
Airline provides an assistant
Airlines comp the price of the second seat for the assistant

I would assume if people need assistant on the plane, they would also need them for their day to day at their destination as well?

To add - Im not being shitty. Im all for empowering everyone as much as possible. And fuck airline companies scalping. I just wanted to clearly understand the options

I mean, I'm surprised they don't do this for pr points from the gullible and increase general ticket prices/other fees. They could have an easy pr win that generates more revenue.
