[quote=Anonymous]IMO it is fine to ask someone to switch to an equal or better seat. I’d agree to switch myself to an equal or better seat if traveling alone- why not? But if the answer is no, that should be respected immediately.

But to switch for a poor seat, just out of the goodness of your heart? Especially when I have likely paid extra for my seat assignment?  Meh. I say no. Maybe I would agree to do it, if it was a short flight and it was to accommodate a very small child.

If stuck in a terrible situation (myself and little kids in middles, separated)- I’d offer $100 (or more, if a long flight) when asking people to switch. That is the least I can do. Even if it isn’t my fault, it is not their fault either- and my kids are my responsibility. Why should they have to sit in a middle seat because of MY kid?

Also my kids have been fine being separated from us on flights, if needed, from a fairly young age- 7/8? For short domestic flights anyway. They have snacks and play on their iPad, and know where I am if they need me.
