[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who can't fit into 1 seat should have to buy 2. It's ridiculous to expect others to be squashed into a seat.

Airlines should not be able to give away the second seat, just like they shouldn't be able to give away a seat purchased for an infant (which sometimes happens). If you paid for the seat, you get to keep it. [/quote]

Exactly!  I had my toddler's seat taken on a flight from here to LAX.  I paid for him to have a seat because I did not want to hold a squirmy 1.5 year old for 6+ hours.  Was I compensated for them taking it away?  Yes, and very nicely, but that is not the point.  And I did NOT have the option to decline when the flight attendant "asked" for the seat.  It was not even phrased as a question.  My options were give up his seat or get off the plane for a later flight.

And not only did I have to deal with a sweaty, squirmy 1.5 year old on my lap, trying to keep him entertained, I had to deal with the b*tch in his former seat huffing and deep sighing the whole flight because she was seated next to us.

If you paid for it you should not have to give it up.  They can ask, but not force.  I would have told the woman that you paid for the seat and are paying for her to have the pleasure of sitting there and if she doesn't like it too bad as this was her choice for you to endure a flight with a 1/5 year old on your lap next to her, not yours.[/quote]
