[quote=Anonymous]Wow. My DD and I were both assigned middle seats on a recent flight and I was thrilled that some very nice people offered to let us sit together. We were on our way to a FUNERAL and our non-stop flight (on which we had adjacent seats) was cancelled. And those people were nice enough to change seats with us without my having to share that we were going to a funeral. Sounds like half of you would rather have made me cry before offering to change seats with me.

When we travel, we do try to buy seats together (and I'm a type A planner who buys tix 6-9 months ahead). But there are times when we can't. Our trips are determined by school vacations and by family events (weddings, funerals, birthdays) and there isn't always an option of a different flight with more availability. In case you haven't noticed, airlines are running at full capacity, which means overbooking. I don't choose my destinations based on seat availability (or even airfare costs), but on where our family is. Some locations only have one flight per day.

Expand your horizons and don't assume the worst about people.

And if you paid more for an extra legroom seat, I don't think anyone is expecting you to move to the row in front of the exit row that has very little legroom and no reclining seats.
