13 only? I’d like that option all the way to 18. 1) 14 year olds can be harassed or taken advantage of. 2) If I’m legally responsible for their behavior, I want to be nearby.
Between this and the airbag thing, the USA just continues to blow my mind like, “Just when you couldn’t think they couldn’t be second-class citizens any more… BAM!!! Here’s some shit developed nations didn’t even consider could be a thing.”
We’d send aid, but with that GDP, just assumed everyone super rich. You’re all super rich, right? Well looked after? Healthy? Educated?.. Aight I’ll stop.
You’re all (mostly) actually really nice people and don’t deserve this shit. Excellent huggers too.
Glad you qualified it with “mostly.” I hate this hell hole and can’t wait to leave.
My girlfriend is Mexican. Her family have property all over the country. She’s also a Chilean resident. We’re considering Santiago. (Mexico is a mess most places.) I’ve also considered a few locations near the Spain/France border, but that would take more effort.
I’m an independent consultant and can work anywhere.
I give it about 4 minutes before airlines add a completely unrelated fee and a credit for not picking seats.
put a ban on rubbish fees to pick your seats all together
So I don’t get all this. Everything I buy tickets, I choose my seats unless I fly southwest. And even they are going to move to assigned seats.
Is this a new thing that you don’t get to pick your seats on some airlines? And if so, do they not seat everyone in your reservation together?
You’ve never flown budget airlines like Frontier, Spirit then. They’ll charge you $20-$100 to pick seats (per seat)
And also even on mainline carriers like American/Delta with Basic Economy fares they do much the same
So I don’t get all this. Everything I buy tickets, I choose my seats unless I fly southwest. And even they are going to move to assigned seats.
At least when my kids were young, you’d have to pay extra to pick a seat, at least if you purchased through Expedia or Travelocity.
And if so, do they not seat everyone in your reservation together?
You know how you print your boarding pass and it has your seats? When my kids were young on multiple trips via United, AA and Delta, the boarding pass would not have a seat assignment and we’d have to go the gate agent at every gate, even on the same airline if it was not a direct flight and get our seats assigned last minute. So no, we weren’t always seated together. On one flight, none of us were in the same row with anyone in our family.
Since we were scraping by back then we always booked months in advance for cheaper tickets. I thought originally it was a fluke with just United but after the next trip, I had learned to pay extra and pick seats ahead of time.
That has to be seriously outdated before digital tickets. I’ve been flying United with kids for 16 years and haven’t had to pay extra to pick seats.
United only instituted a family seating policy last year so that people with kids under 12 could freely pick seats next to each other.
Seat selections are extra most of the time. If I’m traveling on a budget the cost of the seat is the same as a meal so I don’t pick it
The worst offender is Turkish airlines that charges $40 per person per leg of trip, so I’d need to pay $160 to pick seats for my upcoming trip to SEA
Do you have a source on SW moving to assigned seats? That’s devastating news to me :(
Early next year.
