This only became a problem because airlines started charging extra to pick your seats. That practice is what should be made illegal. Splitting up a group because they didn’t want to pay your extortion fee is BS.
I’m usually sat together with my wife but a couple of times we have been separated by a row or two. We have always been able to switch seats with someone so it’s not a huge deal for us but it’s annoying. Especially when we buy are tickets at the time as one purchase and one of us gets sat next to someone flying alone or another person separated from their party… Those cases its obvious the airline separated you for no reason other than to punish you for not paying the fee.
That’s totally fair and I agree there should be no fees for that. My airline doesn’t charge for choosing seats, at least when booking directly with them. So that’s my frame of reference. My only point of contention is that while boarding I don’t wanna move my seat because someone else couldn’t pay or didn’t plan in advance. At least, I want it to be my decision and not forced on me.
Again, taking care of your children means taking care of your children. Your failure to be a good parent is not the responsibility of the seat I paid to sit in.
Ridiculous. Quit projecting your own shitty parenting on other responsible adults.
You lose, by the way, not “loose”. Maybe you should take some of those grade school English classes with your kids.
Their lack of planning and inability to plan ahead is their own problem to deal with and not the problem of people who can actually plan ahead to handle their own affairs. Cope harder
Fuck that noise. Plan ahead. I’ll repeat what someone else said. Parents shitty planning doesn’t become my problem. I pick the seat I want.

I guess I don’t have that problem with Alaska Airlines. I agree with no fees for choosing seats. But after that it’s fair game.

How do you expect someone to plan ahead for a death in the family?
Not everyone is flying on vacation…
And so they MUST sit together? How many people are flying for a death in the family or emergency vs a vacation or planned trip anyways?
You realize that this is about people under the age of 13 right?
So it’s just having two people sit together, a parent/guardian and a child.
What needs does a 10 year old have for a 3 hour flight? Besides go to the bathroom or hears your snacks.
Assume the child is poorly raised, since this apparently needs to directly influence you
Would you want to have to deal with them all flight, or the parent deal with them all flight?
Your sacred planning (as well as your convenience) isn’t worth more than their right to take care of their children. Sorry, you loose.
LOL what a load of entitled BS.

LOL what a load of entertaining, even humoring, well, whatever :)
No breeder it isn’t.
I mean apparently not since that’s not the case in today’s reality. So I guess I don’t lose?
