So do you book the extra seat on same reservation or separate booking?
Also if booking two passengers and one extra seat do I book all 3 on one reservation or?

To be clear, can you have 2 people, book a 3rd "extra" seat, but not purchase advanced seat assignment? And then would they actually make sure one of the people has an empty seat beside them? Or are you required to pay for preassigned seating? I would guess there's no guarantee of being seated in the same row with a seat in between but one person would have an extra seat.

Flew back from MLA last week with an extra seat booked, I asked the gate agent ahead of time who let the dispatcher know, when it came to boarding both passes were scanned.
