[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:32 here.  BTW, often times, it isn't until you have spent all the time figuring out which time works for you that you actually get to choose seats.  So, OP may have done all sorts of planning, credit card in hand, and not had any seats to switch to.  Just saying, you people are awful.  I hope all of you have to sit separated from your kids through absolutely no fault of your own.  Doesn't matter if you picked the most expensive fare, btw.  I booked months out for a flight, and the only thing left was aisle seats and the fare was over $1000 for California because the airlines are flying smaller planes.

As one of the people you are calling awful, I think your anger/judgement is misplaced.  Why is the onus placed on all of the other passengers to accommodate OP's situation?  And if they don't, or at least try to provide practical solutions or ideas to avoid the situation in the first place, are considered "awful"?

If I am on a 5-hour flight to California, and I book a window seat because I need to sleep or an aisle seat because I have a small bladder/claustrophobia/whatever, and last minute, someone asks me to switch into a middle seat, I'm going to be annoyed.  I don't think that makes me an "awful" person and I don't think that makes OP an awful person for asking.  That's just the situation.

-Someone with a family of five who realizes the reality of flying and that sacrifices may need to be made when booking flights (either booking a different flight at a less convenient time, a more expensive flight, or sucking it up and dealing with "family flight separation").
