Yes, they need to pay extra. [/quote]

Clearly some of you have been extremely blessed in your family travel experiences.  We ALWAYS pay to select our seats in advance so that at least one adult is seated with the kids, and about 50% of the time when we actually check in, either at the airport or online, they have changed our damn seats!  This has been true across multiple airlines.  I would never ask for someone to take a middle seat for an aisle or window, but I will to switch like for like and so far we have never run into anyone petty enough to refuse just because it’s their right.[/quote]

I empathize with you because the airlines changed aircraft and separated our seats for both our main long haul trip this year and last year. But I don't think it's "petty" for people to refuse to move. This is not their fault but the airline's fault. On a work trip just last month, my cousin who is really tall paid for a seat with extra leg room and logged on a few times to get something in an exit row but was asked to move so a child could sit with a parent. DH did move to a regular economy seat and ended up with back pain for the next week and on top of that the airline refused to credit him for extra leg room seat he paid for. I don't think it was petty of him not to want to move but completely reasonable.[/quote]
