Spring break a few years back, it was me, my 2 year old, and 5 year old. Both times they placed my 5 year old in a different row than us...no problem on the way to Florida, people traded with no issue. on the way home, my fellow passenger was nasty, ignored me when I asked politely, and I was finally like, if he sits by himself with YOU, good luck with that! Because he is one of those kids that would have just talked their ear off or annoyed...I really should have let him sit in his assigned seat because i would have had a more peaceful flight home! ha ha!!Seriously, I told the people at checkin we needed seats together and they told em I would just have to figure it out when I got on the flight. Very nice. Briana @ Bargain Brianas last blog post..Get Organized with Cheap Rubbermaid @ Meijer

Sorry, but I have to agree with the last commenter here...I have a kiddo too, but if I was flying solo on a plane in an aisle or window seat, I wouldn't be jumping up to sit in the middle either. Flying already sucks and I make sure to plan ahead so i don't have to sit in the middle. What d-bag airline are you flying that's not allowing you to get on first AND not letting you pick your seat??

After reading some of these comments, I would suggest that it is just as rude to just show up at a gate expecting everybody else to bend over for you – just because you’re travelling with your little prince or princess. The light(s) of your life isn’t theirs, ya know.

This is just one more example of why parents with small children need to think about planning ahead. Good for you, your child, and for everybody else.

Back when I only had one kid, I lost him in the airport in Denver. Nice, huh? I lost my mind! All over the place, grabbing strangers, shoving pictures of him in faces, sobbing in the arms of anyone who would hold still as they closed down the airport, stopped all the planes on the runway, pulled a major 911. He was under the row of seats behind me, safe and sound and close, but ON THE PLANE?? Everyone stared at me as if expecting that I would explode and nothing but xanax and whiskey would fly out like confetti. Looking forward to flying alone to Nashville, tho!

When my daughter was tiny, I flew a long haul flight with her and she ended up bing the focus of the whole flight. Being passed around between flight attendants..lol.
Now, they are teenagers and I have the same problem…noone wants to trade seats with me..of course we actually have seats together and I’m TRYING to get away from them..lol

that’s such a pain – I can understand not wanting to move, but come on – sometimes we all have to do things we’d rather not in the interests of civility. I can’t believe you’ve traveled so much with her – there is a special place in heaven for people like you.

Sad that nobody offered though I'm also surprised that you didn't get kicked off or at least pulled aside. These days nothing is let go Gennaro @ Enduring Wanderlusts last blog post..Painted Monasteries Of Romania

What ever happened to "Disabled and people with young children can board first"? We always flew Continental (altho it has been almost 12 years since my last flight) Hopefully you did end up sitting with her or at least near by. Domestic Extraordinaires last blog post..Haiku Friday
