We do.  But flights get cancelled and you get rebooked with hours to spare and don’t always get to pick your seats.  Have some sympathy.

It happened to me a few months ago.  Flight was canceled.  Just canceled.  I booked another flight on another airline with less than 8 hours notice so we could make our vacation.  No seats to choose from. Plus since I bought this those tickets at that last minute it was a gazillion dollars.

Luckily a really nice gate agent helped me - but you have no idea.

It was very stressful and you have no idea why people so t have seats together.  Might no be their fault.[/quote]

This! Obviously I book my seat next toy young child's when I book a flight-- it matters to me so I do it. When we get separated it's always due to some problem out of my control. I always ask the airline to help first (usually the problem is due to their error anyway) but sometimes yes I'm asking someone to move a row or two. I always try to find someone for whom the move is actually an upgrade or at least not a downgrade. Still some people push back and are angry even at being asked.[/quote]
