[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do airlines even allow a 3 year old to be alone.... that’s what’s disturbing.  This is a safety issue.   It wasn’t a super long flight- people need to learn how to be charitable.  And doesn’t someone on that flight have the authority to at least up the incentive to a flight voucher.  I am flying with my two year old twins by myself in a couple weeks, and if for some reason we were separated - I would have no choice but to not take the flight. [/quote]

This.  We had a similar thing happen twice--they switched planes, and the new plane had a different seating configuration--and they reassigned us to be in separate rows.  The first time, I very politely but equally firmly explained that my three-year-old could not sit by herself, and the flight attendant immediately agreed that this was impossible, and set about fixing it.  The second time, the airline was oddly nonchalant, and I raised holy hell.  One of the flight attendants went on the plane and found someone who would switch.

I can't imagine being on a flight and not giving up my window seat on a 2-3 hour flight so that a parent could sit next to their small child.  I've done that before for slightly older kids, and it just seems like basic human decency.  [/quote]
