[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flying back to DC a week ago we had our flight canceled because of the storm.  They rebooked us through a different city, but put us in center seats all over the airplane.  We had previously paid to all sit together but we had to take the rebooked flight or stay overseas until after the storm.  There were no other seats or flights.  I have two small kids, 5 and 8 yo.  It was a a 5 hour long international flight.  The gate agent said she had no way of seating us together so we'd have to ask on the plane.

What exactly should I have done differently?[/quote]

Sounds like the gate agent just didn't want to deal with it. They absolutely can switch seats around and try to accommodate families or at least try to get you as close as possible - I see them do it all the time. [/quote]

I had this happen with a 3 year old on a plane, after our flight was overbooked and our seat selections disappeared when we checked in,  even though I had an email with the seat assignments.  They put me in an aisle seat in row 11 and her in a middle seat in row 28. Thankfully, I was able to trade with a mom who was happy to not sit next to her kids -- Dad was in the the other row with their other 2 kids.  Gate agent told me to figure it out on the plane.
