TAM random seat assignments
this is just a warning to those who've booked flights on internal TAM flights, check your seat allocations if you're travelling in a group.
I've just checked my flights and found that the 3 of us (2 adults and 1 child) have been allocated seats completely separate from each other. All three of us had aisle seats!

You got advance seat assignments? Impressive. You can ask to be reassigned when you check in. Even pay R$40 and get an upgrade to a "comfort seat" (just means better location), probably the first row (bulkhead), since some agents won't put you in the exit row unless you're Brazilian (apparently reg says you do need to speak Portuguese, to understand pass on emergency instructions, but nothing about citizenship).
On the bright side, sort of, the seats are packed close enough together that you won't likely be far from the others in your group. Is it really important that those of you in the group be seated near each other? If so, see what you can do on check in.

re: sitting together - a 2 year old sat on his own in another row is probably not advisable
