[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that people are feeling guilted into giving up a superior seat they usually paid extra for. 
It’s the airlines fault 99% of the time. No It’s human nature to want to sit with your kids or spouse and charging extra for that privilege is asinine. [/quote]

The link in OP isn’t really a superior seat, though. I don’t get being so attached to it and would have probably moved, personally. [/quote]

Yes so many little errors in this article, of course. The passenger is on a 787, but they show the (similar, but different) AF A350 business class seats. They are mixing the use of first class and business class, when:

1. Air France is actually one of the few airlines still flying a separate international first class. And

2. It's only on some of their 777-300s, and they don't have a separate first class section in the 787 on this route.

And yes, every seat in this business class section is basically the same, other than if you have a window or not. It's even weirder actually that someone in a window seat was asked to move- if you wanted to be closer to your kid, you would probably want the middle seat next to them, so you could pass stuff easily, talk if you lean forward, etc. But the thing about modern business class on long haul flights is they are mostly designed for privacy, so it's just hard generally to be right next to someone else, except for a few planes with middle sections designed for this (Qatar has seats designed for this, for example).[/quote]
