[quote=Anonymous]OP again. Wow, amazed to hear from so many people who've been moved around even with economy plus seats. And yes, I naively thought that "investing" in those seats would have protected us from changes. I guess (if you don't get switched back to economy) you at least have more desirable seats to bargain in the event you do need to beg other passengers to switch!

Someone mentioned people getting shuffled by United to accommodate premier flyers. And with that comment, it all fell into place. I have NEVER had a problem on United with seating changes/separate seating with our kids until this trip. We flew with kids several times a year, at least two domestic and one international flight. Eureka! Yep: from when DC1 was born through 2012, we were premier members and DH 1k due to work travel. We almost always flew with him under his status. Never any problems.

I have certainly noticed the difference in customer service and travel now that we're not premier, but didn't make the connection regarding 1) the seat reshuffling to accommodate premier upgrades and 2) the protection 1k gave us from being shuffled. So really, this is all karma and I probably deserve to be seated across the plane from my family! Will definitely try some of the other airlines recommended next time.[/quote]
