Personally, as a parent, I now realize that families really do need the bulkhead. If the guy wants to prioritize leg-room, he should book an exit row seat.

That said, I don't think he was wrong for refusing to give up his seat. He paid extra for it and those seats are not cheap (usually $50-100 extra)![/quote]

Families do not need the bulkhead. I have flown with my kids a lot, including transatlantic in coach,  and we have never book the bulkhead.

He was not wrong at all. He paid and selected his seat ahead of time he has every right to stay in the seat he booked. If a family wants to sit in a certain seat they should book it ahead of time.

If they were asking for an equal swap like move to a different aisle bulkhead seat then maybe he should say yes, but if they want to you trade a good seat for a less desirable seat when you paid for the other one one then heck no. [/quote]
