[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and then you combine this with the worrisome trend that others are experiencing, with having to garden your reservation because airlines will change on you, cancel flights, switch aircraft and wipe out your seat assignments. It's too stressful.[/quote]

Which airlines?

I’ve mostly heard about this on European airlines. Have you experienced this on domestic airlines when flying to Europe? I was planning to book a domestic airline to avoid such issues. [/quote]

I have no idea where you are hearing this is a European airline thing. We live in Europe and would much rather fly any European airline any day. 1) we don't have to pay for seats to sit with our child- we are automatically sat together and 2) if flights are delayed or cancelled. European airlines are required to pay you based on the flight distance- for example, if your flight is delayed more than 3 hours and it is under 1500km, you get 250 euros, if your flight is delayed or cancelled and it is over 4 hours and 1500km- you get 600 euros. Even if they rebook you on another flight, if your flight is canceled, you get paid. We have been paid more than our flights were by one airline because it was delayed by 5 hours. Customer protection in Europe makes US-based consumer protection look like a joke. This also holds companies accountable- they can't just cancel flights or delay- they will have a plane full of people requesting compensation and unless it is something thoroughly documented that is outside their control- i.e. a massive storm, they will have to pay.[/quote]
