[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the OP, good lord, did this ever take a turn.

For the record: we always fly in the same configuration. DH + kids are on one side of the aisle, I am across from DH on the other side of the same aisle. He and I both like aisle seats, kids switch out for the window depending on flight, and he and I can switch if needed. Kids don't like sitting next to strangers just because they are shy, so it works for all. Never crossed my mind not to sit together as a family! [/quote]

I've been doing red eyes mostly with my kids since they were 2 years old. On the very rare occasions they were not assigned next to me/us, we told the FA and we were able to all sit together. It can't really happen these days with having to buy seats anyway. I don't understand people who are okay with their kids sitting far away. I wouldn't want my dh sitting far away either: The point is to travel together. In any case I'd just make sure to bring new books and download some shows/movies they might like. Sometimes my kids can sleep a lot, sometimes they can't, but they always have something to do. [/quote]

Except it can happen when there is a flight issue, change of plane, delay, etc. We know how much people love being asked to move so other people can sit with their kids. If you want to hold up the plane to demand seat changes, that's on you. There have been posts here many pages long about how entitled people think you are if you go that route. They will just assume you planned it that way, not that an unforeseen event occurred, and will hold their ground.[/quote]
