This thread made me think of this article.  Despite saying that the fare was not family-friendly for seating, the writer booked anyway.  [/quote]

I'd vote for:

- People who paid extra for good seats shouldn't ever have to move to cheaper seats, except in a life-or-death emergency. [b]Example: To get that person with the great seat away from someone with Ebola.[/b]

- Nice people with ordinary seats should accommodate parents of children under about 8 if the parents and the children have been separated because of unexpected travel problems, such as flight cancellations that have disrupted a family's travel plans, or because the airline changed planes and failed to give a parent and small child adjacent seats.

- Other travelers don't have any moral obligation to move if parents had a chance to book adjacent seats and were too cheap or foolish to do so. But, in a situation like that, I personally would probably move, just to be nice.[/quote]

Erm, what? I don't think someone bleeding from their eyeballs is going to be permitted onto a plane in the first place.[/quote]
