They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.
Nah, that ain't it. If I book my seat and then find out that I got moved for a kid, I'll be pretty annoyed.
What happens when the only way to seat a family together is to break up another family. What if you need to separate a couple who is engaged and traveling together?
we call those people adults and understand that they have less requirements than children.
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.
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.
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.
LOL what a load of entertaining, even humoring, well, whatever :)
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
No. Removing fees for parent and young children makes sense, but if I've paid extra to choose my seat I'm not OK with being moved for someone else's lack of planning. Not my parent and not my kid so my life doesn't revolve around them. If someone were to ask me if I could move in that situation that's one thing. But even then it would be well within my rights to say no.
I would be sad if my wife and I got split up to accommodate a parent and child. But we'd get over it because we're adults and the parent/child need adjacent seats more than we do.
I agree to an extent. It would be beneficial if they could book any AVAILABLE seats together for free. This practice should be standard for everyone.
Don't airlines usually charge a bit extra to pick your own seat? I'd imagine/hope that there are enough people selecting the cheaper "whatever" option that they're going to bump one of those.
What I would not like is for a parent to pay for the upgraded seat next to me and then I get bumped to accommodate their child.
Why? Can people not sit apart for a few hours? I agree with no charging but moving because you didn’t book in advance with enough time to sit together shouldn’t result in others being inconvenienced.
People...as in children? you want a toddler to sit by themselves for a few hours?
This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:
Which is maybe why there's a big disconnect between you and all the comments you're replying to
Do not move my fucking seat without my consent. I booked early to make certain I could have it. The families can take another flight. Fucking hell. Flying is miserable enough already without being shuffled into a middle seat because of someone else's problem.
