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.

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 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?

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.

I mean apparently not since that’s not the case in today’s reality. So I guess I don’t lose?

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.
