[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should, but why didn't you check your boarding passes earlier? Also get the app.[/quote]

I have the app. I didn’t check in until I was on the way to the airport. We didn’t even book these flights until two weeks ago. I don’t ever check my seats until boarding. This has never happened to us before.[/quote]

Troll?

The first post said OP always books early, this post says op booked 2 weeks ago[/quote]

Not OP or PP but 2 weeks would be booking early for us.[/quote]

OP here. We fly often. We flew November, December, January, February and this was a last minute trip so I guess I didn’t book this trip that far in advance. We are going away next month and I booked that trip almost 5 months in advance.[/quote]

Now I know you are a troll. People who fly that often are much more airline savvy.[/quote]

I am not a troll. We fly often. This is the first time this has ever happened to us.[/quote]

Do you fly United every time you fly?  [b]I ask because flying monthly should get you some level of gold or silver status on United.  This makes it less likely (but still possible ofc) to get your seats reassigned apart and you don’t have to pay to sit together [/b]- either more desirable economy seats or in some cases, economy plus seats, are free.

Also, do you book directly with the airline or through something like Expedia?  When that doctor made the news getting tossed from a plan 5+ years ago, they talked about how priority works in getting bumped: class of ticket, mileage program member or not, booked through third party discounter or not, etc.

Just something to think about in the future - obviously what happened was annoying.  [/quote]

This.  If you really do fly a alot  you would already be doing this.  I have status on a different airline and constantly check our seats to see if better ones have opened up.  We automatically get extra legroom but I'm always checking to see if there are better seats (and I don't care if we sit together-we all have our own seat preferences). [/quote]
