You ask "Where does this sense of entitlement end?" This is what should be asked of all these people who only think of themselves.
I still however say that AA had the responsibility here to make things right when it became clear that somehow all the other F passengers were too selfish to help. AA should have fixed this at that point if not before.
Oh, nonsense. As the parent of a 2-year-old, I recognize that my rights do not trump the rights of fellow passengers just because I chose to have a child.
I would never pay for F, but there have been times where I've been upgraded and my daughter the lap child and I decided to downgrade ourselves by asking a person next to an empty seat to switch.
I'm sure someone in Y would've been thrilled to fly F. Did your relatives ask anyone in Y to switch?
