[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just on a flight where they put my 5 year old across the aisle from me.  I booked the tickets together in one transaction and included his age so this was baffling.  I talked to the check in people and gate agent and they couldn't do anything because the flight was fully booked.  Fortunately I was offering to trade an aisle seat for a middle seat and one of the middle seats next to us was a solo traveler who was happy to take the switch.[/quote]

Two aisle seats in the same row IS considered sitting "next to."[/quote]

Realistically though you can't manage a small kid's drink or let them sleep on you or control them physically across an aisle.  Airlines should know this.[/quote]

You cannot put on your child’s oxygen mask from across the aisle. Failing to sit families together would be a huge problem for an orderly evacuation. There’s zero way I would not be climbing over people to get to my kid. [/quote]

You absolutely can manage a drink and an oxygen mask from across the aisle. The aisle is like 12 inches wide - this ain't first class. [/quote]

You can't take a drink from the flight attendant for your kid when they're across the aisle because the drink cart is in between you.  [/quote]

Sure you can. Take the drink. Put it on your tray. Wait for the cart to move a row back. Hand drink to child. Are you this bad at life logistics?[/quote]
