[quote=Anonymous][quote]Really???? Do you folks actually want to sit by my 2 and 4 year olds by yourself during a cross country flight?? Be my guest! Good luck with that!! That is essentially free babysitting for me!

I know people who work for airlines and have confirmed that they change the seats at the last minute. No investigation needed to figure that out, really. I have NEVER booked seats apart for my family. Why would I do that with 2 small children?

Many families do book only middle seats because on cheap fare deals these are the only seats that are left. When people miss their plane or a flight is cancelled rather than waiting for an even later flight they will jump on standby for middle seats only. These people expect that everyone will move for them. Why should my family get split up so the other family can save money!

Isn't your family already "split up" if you have someone else's kid sitting in the middle seat next to you?[/quote]

No, my family with 2 kids under 6 is sitting together. We passed on a cheaper fare to book a flight where we could sit together. Its the other family in our section who admits to booking middle seats (because at the time this was all that was available for that particular flight) who are trying to get my six foot tall husband to separate away and sit in one of their middle seats so they can sit together. I'm not complaining about people who get screwed by the airline. I am complaining about entitled people who book middle seats anyway to get the cheap fare and then try to split other people up.
