[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. For a short flight like that I’d switch, but on a flight from Newark to Honolulu I was seated next to a sweet 9 year old girl whose family had been put in different places. She and her mother had two middles, the mother behind the daughter. The mom was kicking up a huge fuss, meanwhile the girl was calmly reading her book. Mom offered me $200 to switch places with her, but I wasn’t going to sit in the middle for a 12 hour flight. Finally for $500 she finally got a man next to her to take the middle, but I have to say it was a tempest in a teapot. The kid was fine, the mom could see her from right behind, it was all a ridiculous tantrum over nothing. And to anyone who tries to lay a guilt trip on me, saying I should have switched, I just shake my head. [/quote]
All fine and good since it was an uneventful flight. And if there had been tons of turbulence or an emergency? You people are nuts, and so is the airline.

It would be against airline policy for a child under 16 to fly on their own without unaccompanied minor status, meaning extra oversight by the flight crew, but they would willingly put kids out of reach of their parents? It's stupidity.[/quote]
