[quote=Anonymous]I would honestly be annoyed if asked to switch seats for a family, especially if I had paid extra for leg room or if I had my favorite aisle seat, but I would do it b/c 1) I wouldn't want to split up a family and 2) I sure as heck don't want to sit next to your young kids (I have my own young kids I get enough of at home).

Airlines totally split up people traveling together. It never crossed my mind that a family would intentionally game the system, but again, I'd rather you sit with your own kids.  But please be mindful of people who may refuse but aren't being jerks about it. My sister has a severe phobia of flying and for some reason needs to sit at the window.  She takes prescription medication to help with the flying anxiety but still needs to be near a window.  She's very nice and would probably move if you asked her, but she would be in her own personal hell.

If you ask people to move and they do it, be gracious and send them a drink or buy them a meal on the flight to show your gratitude.[/quote]
