[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I booked a United flight with a connection for 4 people. Once I got to choosing seats, only seats available were rows apart. I then put in a request to “sit together” but there was no movement. Long story short, I refunded the ticket and bought KLM tickets for same price and had no issues reserving seats together for our family without having to put in extra requests to be seated together and hope for airline largesse.

I had this same experience also flying domestic, but there I was at least able to pay to pre book seats together.

I don’t know if United block seats, or it was an in demand flight, but I don’t get these issues flying with European or middle eastern carriers where I buy tickets in advance and the only seats available are 1 seat each, many rows apart.

This is an airline issue, not “many idiots asking to switch seats” issue. [/quote]

Most people don’t do this. They would have booked the flight and assume people will switch. They are in fact the idiots asking who switch. [/quote]

Focus on the airline. Not the people. Somehow, KLM, AF, Lufthansa, Turkish, and so on, manage to seat families together with no associated seat switching drama or passing the buck to the customers to figure it out among themselves. [/quote]
