Clearly solution here is to increase price of tickets for underage children. Which is the fairest way for everyone.

Considering the main cost is fuel, why not weight passengers at take-off and charge a supplement accordingly ?

Cost-wise, kids should be 50% off.

Should build some rows with mini seats and tiny legroom for the kids.

Make it more like a resort where you hand off the kids to the on-site daycare and enjoy a carefree day. Need a staffer, but the extra seating capacity should cover it.

We have on-board showers, individual cabins, sit down bars, but where’s the onsite daycare?

And adults that want to save money can squeeze into the tiny seats. Once that catches on we can have a new junk fee for an oversized tiny seat, it can be even the new base fare even. /s
