What a wonderful tool that ExpertFlyer is. Didn't know! When I booked her the tickets one week ago (yes, economy), I couldn't select and/or see any free seats. Interesting that ExpertFlyer can!
Still, the checkbox 'Family traveling together' was checked when I booked the tickets, and hopefully they will do something at checkin or latest in the plane. Not sure if a 4 and 6 years old kid are allowed to sit alone without its parent(s)? How knows what could happen during the red-eye flight?!
I've also gifted her *S status (from my United status) but that hasn't gone through yet. Hope that will help...
