[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on plenty of flights where people have been asked to move, but those were mostly southwest where there is no assigned seating (though some were assigned, it just didn't work out for the family when they booked). For example, two kids seated together but away from parents, or one parent away from the remaining family when there was more than one young child.

I was also thinking that you could have the same issue when flying with:
- the elderly 
- mentally disabled/special needs 
- a friend or relative who needs mental/emotional support while flying due to a phobia

So it would be really, really difficult to set a standard that is fair for everyone, since there are so many reasons why you could justify seating people together.[/quote]

I have to agree with this, unfortunately.  Having kids costs more money, it's just a fact.  You have the option to pay the fees and sit together, so if you choose not to I kind of think that's on you.[/quote]

But aren't the fees ridiculous to begin with? Even if there is no need, you should be able to seat with those with whom you are flying unless space is truly limited. Airlines are really being a-holes to try to charge for something so basic. We should not just accept such fees as a given. [/quote]
