[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You wouldn't switch to help a family with young kids that would otherwise be stranded for hours due to their flight being cancelled through no fault of their own? [quote]

[/quote]I have to call melodrama and lying here. I have two young kids and we were stranded in an airport for hours. The kids absolutely loved it. They got to watch planes take off, play games, and eat fast food. They ask to go back to the airport. It was hell for us. The inconvenience here is to the parents not "the family". Your need to get on a earlier flight at the expense of taking someone's else seat is all about the adult's comfort not the kids.[/quote]

[quote]Um, unless your kid is tired and wants to be home. Or is delayed getting to grandmas or Disneyland. The plural of your anecdote is not data. Not every family is not inconvenienced by waiting. [/quote]

Ha! Small world, we were stuck in an airport going to Disneyland (CA) and visiting grandma was at the end of the trip too! Kids had fun in the airport, we did not. Kids were tired and fell asleep on the plane, we had to struggle to carry them and push the luggage carts to the rental car. PITA for us, not the kids. Look, you're inclined to put your own comfort over someone else's comfort. It isn't for your kids sake, its for yours, just own it. [/quote]
Coincidences still do not make your story apply to every other family. [/quote]
