[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you pay for what you want  pay up for the entire family to sit together and don't bother other people. its a fairly simple concept[/quote]

The point that multiple people on this thread have made is that sometimes airlines don’t even give you the option to buy seats together or they rebook you in different seats after you’ve already paid for them. [/quote]

You need one parent with a child or children, not two parents or adults.  If you cannot sit next to your child get off the plane and get the next flight.  [/quote]

[b]"The next flight" might be hours later, or even the next day; [/b]so basically you're saying that -- in the event where the airline has bumped parents from seats they paid for due to schedule or equipment changes -- it's better for the family to add an uncertain number of delays to their itinerary than it is for someone to just move a few rows?[/quote]

Then sit apart. Done.[/quote]

Last week we had a weird set of seats. A man was stuck next to my grumpy 4 year old and 10 year old. I asked him if he wanted to switch with my brother, one row back (same window seat). I could tell he was a #NeverSwitcher but my 4 year old’s whining about why he wasn’t allowed to sit in the window seat apparently convinced him. After a long pause to think through the consequences of not moving, he did it.

I asked the flight attendant to offer him a drink from me. [/quote]

See that shouldn't be a problem for the vast majority of people- window for window is an equivalent swap. I would think 98% of people would do this with zero issues.[/quote]
