[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP solo traveler here. Agree that:

It is usually solo women (mature) who are asked to move

Airlines NEVER offered any kind of voucher to do so (multiple carriers)

Biggest acknowledgment I ever got was a free soft drink and a sincere thanks from a flight attendant, who candidly stated that my move prevented a melt-down from an entitled parent who would have created a scene.

My answer will remain NO from now on.

BIG so what if they create a scene? they don't get to hissy fit their way through life.

If it's a family who paid extra and planned ahead and the airlines sprang this on them, then yes, I'm glad the FA saw what was coming. But FAs and the airline in general should fix these things with better ways than the goodwill of other passengers. If there was an original algorithm to the plane seating with seats together, paying extra, etc., it's not that hard to put that algorithm into every other plane type with "best results", who needs to be compensated, options for First Class, etc.

It's really the airlines we need to be angry at. Also remember when they wouldn't put people in first class even if there were empty seats just because? Is that still going on? [/quote]
