[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Several people in this thread have said they wouldn’t. Never move ever no matter the circumstance. [/quote]

It isn't just "window for window" -- being closer to the front of the plane matters. Who you're going be next to matters.

I've been asked to move from a window in Row 3 to a window in the second to last row of the plane. No way.

People who want you to move almost always want you to move to a seat this is worse in some way.

So you would prefer to deal with a whiny 4 year old child sitting next to you throughout your flight in order to be in an equivalent window seat one row closer to the front of the plane? Because that’s the situation pp described.

For me, I’m putting my Bose.noise cancelling headphones on,ordering a double and enjoying my flight. Wjhat your whiny spawn does is not my problem. [/quote]
