[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flying back to DC a week ago we had our flight canceled because of the storm.  They rebooked us through a different city, but put us in center seats all over the airplane.  We had previously paid to all sit together but we had to take the rebooked flight or stay overseas until after the storm.  There were no other seats or flights.  I have two small kids, 5 and 8 yo.  It was a a 5 hour long international flight.  The gate agent said she had no way of seating us together so we'd have to ask on the plane.

What exactly should I have done differently?[/quote]

Sounds like the gate agent just didn't want to deal with it. They absolutely can switch seats around and try to accommodate families or at least try to get you as close as possible - I see them do it all the time. [/quote]
Because of the late timing of the cancellation and rebooking, I understand that all of the other passengers already had boarding passes.  My understanding from the gate agent was that they couldn't make a change because all seats were already given out.  It's possible the gate agent just didn't want to bother, but I asked and explained and they said they couldn't help me.  There wasn't anything else I could do.[/quote]
