[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I booked flights using miles and the only seats they would offer were middle, so I took the middle seats as close together as possible. Two days before my flight United Moved only me to Economy Plus, even though my two young children were attached to my reservation (they require you to put in ages). When I called, United tried to make me pay to upgrade my kids to EP because those were the only three seats together on the plane. I said " is it United's policy to blackmail parents into paying for upgrades so they can sit by their children?"  because I would have preferred the middle seats in close proximity over me In front of the plane and kids in back. Agent quickly changed his tune and gave me seats together at no added charge. Stop accusing people of purposely choosing middle seats and start blaming the airlines who are making a killing on added fees. [/quote]

They did something similar to me.  I'm a 1k, and they moved me to 1st--constantly.  I called the 1k desk on the way to the airport to block the upgrade.  I requested they block the upgrade again at check in.  again at the gate.

The system is automated.  Long story short, my seat was in 1st class, my 4 yr old was in coach.  What a mess.[/quote]
