a lot of airlines do this. i never pay for seat selection, on any airline (they all do it.) - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:48 9
- How do you end up next to your hubby? just chance? have the gate agent do it? ask a stranger to move? - Epiphany Nov 1, 10:50 8
  - you just check in *as soon as* online check-in opens and pick two seats together, it's never been a problem. -- (edited) - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:51 7
    - Okay - this sounds logical. SM and I flew together to HI but a travel agent booked his ticket and got him next to me - Epiphany Nov 1, 10:58 2
      - you probably paid for it. :) -- nm* - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:58 1
        
        heh - probably. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 11:03
    - we watched a family try this...all fun and games till the parents and their 2 young kids were spread around the cabin cause no one would move -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 10:52 3
      - had they checked in and picked their seats, or did they check in at the airport and have to settle on what was left. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:53 2
        
        settle on what was left. I think they figured they'd just end up together...they lucked out after holding up the plane someone eventually relented -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 10:54 1
        
        yeah, see, that's just stupid. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:55
this is my shocked face :) -- nm - oblique Nov 1, 10:30
Oh Honey - American has started up with that bullshit - co worker had to pay to get seats next to her husband on a 8 hours flight - Epiphany Nov 1, 10:29 1
- don't pay. just check in 24 hours before you fly (or whatever the airline allows), at that point you can select seats, for free. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 10:49
