i know this is off topic from original post
but must say
it's unbelievable that only a few people would like to change seats for whatever reason
for a family ,couple or whomever and whatever
there were a few that would give up a coach seat for a bulkhead and only one family that would offer thier FC seat to trade back to coach
i think that is great ^ ^
if it was that important to change and i had to pick one post that jumps out like

JS
with the family and the 3 year old in the middle seats for example only

NOT PERSONALY ATTACKING ANYONE PERSON

if nobody will offer their seat up
why not reach in your pocket and start pulling out some cash $$$$$$$
i would think people would jump for $100 or $200
and you would get your seats
and just think you are still getting a deal for $200+the price of your tickets because they
DO NOT CHARGE ENOUGH FOR THE TICKETS TO START WITH you get what you pay for
$400 OR $500 to cross the US and the same to go international
going coast to coast by bus costs more
i beliieve there are to many people on gov. cheese they wont something and don't wont to pay for it
not sure but i believe on grayhound you buy a ticket and sit where you would like this might be better for some
i think i will stay with the preassigned seats at time of booking
