[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]United agents have told me over the phone that a seat isn't guaranteed until you're sitting in it!

I was flying to FL last year with my three and five year olds on my own.  We bought tx last minute and I saw that our seats were near each other but not exactly together.  If I recall, it was something like two together and then one by itself across the aisle and one row back - nothing horrible.  I prepped my girls that they'd sit together and I'd be near by if they needed me (bathroom, etc.).  I buckled them in and they had coloring sheets and snacks and it wasn't a long flight.  We settled in and didn't ask anyone to accommodate us but the passengers around us reshuffled on their own so we could sit together - it was very nice.  As the plane is nearly full and getting ready to leave, a loud obnoxious family gets on bi&*%ing and moaning about being split up - it was a mother and father and two kids - probably 6 and 9 years old.  And it turns out they had two sets of two seats together!  The groans and eyerolling from the passengers was completely appropriate!  It's families like that who can ruin fellow passengers' good nature for everyone!

Oh, and I should have added, if my kids were sitting next to anyone that gave me the creeps or clearly didn't want to be next to two little kids, I would have asked for help reshuffling then.[/quote]

This. An entire family of two adults with kids does not "need" to sit together. [/quote]
