I have offered to move if the seat change were equal or better than the one I had selected. I will not move to the back of the plane or to some middle seat because some parent did not plan accordingly. </font>
Two things:
Even far in advance, it is often difficult for families to get seats together. The initial bookings tend to pepper the cabin with window and aisle seats alone; often a block is not available.
My usual strategy if I can't get seats together when traveling with the family is to book my wife and child together, and to get the highest seats nearby for myself andwe trade. I usually have no trouble trading my aisle seat for the aisle seat near my wife and son!
