[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last two times my family wasn’t seated together it was because the airline changed the aircraft after we’d booked the tickets. 
We’d done our part and paid for seats together and the gate agent was able to move us around.

This also happened to us this summer. Booked seats together, and then when we checked in my 7yo was on her own away from us.[/quote]

It's happened to us too - and it doesn't change it's YOUR responsibility to pay attention to any changes to your tickets in advance of the flight to catch any plane changes, etc. You can fix these situations in the airline app or by calling the airline well in advance of arriving at the airport and checking in. We fly all the time (internationally and domestically) and make sure to check any ticketed flights regularly for changes if it's important for us to all sit together. [/quote]
Some of us regularly garden our reservations only to have changes made after we show up at the airport. Even when the changes are made further in advance, you can't always fix them. Flights are often completely booked or just have middle seats available. For days.

Well that’s on you for not having psychic insight into whatever flight seating changes the airline is going to make at any given time. We as customers have no right to expect that if we pay extra money to sit with our kids the airline will actually honor that. I mean unfortunately in this day and age there is just no technology available to locate birthdates in the system of young children and create coding to prioritize booking them next to an adult companion.

Stupid breeders should just stay home if they’re not willing to frequently refresh an app to check for flight seating changes in the months-long interim between booking and traveling. Or be willing to completely uproot your entire travel plans including potentially waiting days for a new booking should that be necessary to not have your toddler seated rows away from you.
