[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're headed to London in September with our three year old and four year old.  I've got assigned seats altogether and keep checking to make sure they don't change.  I've also mentioned to the kids that we'll all be on the same plane, but I'm not sure if we'll sit together.  When I bought the tx, the agent on the phone told me the seats weren't guaranteed until we were actually sitting in them!  My take from this thread is that I'll keep checking to make sure the planes and our seats don't change, if they do change, try to get them back together, and show up at the airport in time to make a last minute switch if necessary/possible.  If we still wind up separate, we'll make it an adventure and not be the PITAs who hold up the whole plane trying to switch seats.  That said, this will be my kids' fifth international flight and they're generally pretty easy going and seem to typically rise to the occasion.[/quote]

We're going to London in September too! (Without kids, hooray)

If we're on the same flight, DH and I will gladly switch with you if you need to. We'll be relishing our redeye sans kids and could care less where we are sitting. I would never 'punish' a family who can't afford the more expensive flight with the (non-guaranteed) attached seats, or the additional $40/seat for the 'upgraded' seats, or who most likely gets screwed by the airline by rearranging seat assignments or dealing with cancelled flights or missed connections.

For all you who hate kids, I have heard there are some airlines that will be offering 'kid-free' flights. See, problem solved, grumpy-pants![/quote]
