[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently was on a 2-2 layout business class flight. Husband got asked to switch so the dad could sit next to his daughter, who looked high school or college age. Husband declined and told him his family (me and 4 year old) were seated behind him and he wanted to stay close.

If the kid was much younger, I think my husband would have reluctantly switched.

Separately, we were on a less convenient flight because of the seat selection. There was another flight that was more convenient, except all three open seats were separated. [b]Couldn’t take the risk of my kid being seated alone, so took the less convenient flight where there were open seats next to each other. [/b][/quote]

I mean, you can do everything “right” and still run the risk of your kid sitting alone.  Stuff happens- cancelled flight, change in aircraft.  We always pay for seat selection but recently had a leg of our trip cancelled visiting family in Europe- when we called to book a new flight the airline said they could not book us seats together for 4 days-not even all 4 of us together, but one parent with my 5 yo.  But when we got to the airport the gate agent figured it out.  This was with British airways.  It was really stressful though.[/quote]
