Yes, it all boils down to money. And you are trying to SAVE that same money right? otherwise you would pay the extra 40 and get the right seats.

The real problem(s) here is that:
1. You did not practise adequate birth control at the right time.
2. you are arrogant, to continue to insist on using the term stewardess..what should we call you – baby producing machine?

geez and for the record: I am not related to the airline industry in any way. it seems like you were polite or willing to spend extra money to get what you want at any time and you just rant and rant on ur blog in such a one sided manner. Also read this again:
“This in spite of the fact that airline policy prohibits minors from flying alone if they are under 12.” This pertains to the entire flight. Otherwise technically, your kid under 12 should not even be going to the airline restroom by themselves. But you dont accompany them and stay INSIDE even when they are 11 years old, do you? Because if you dont stand inside the restroom with them, even when they are 11 yrs old – you will be violating your OWN mentioned rule of letting ur under 12 yr old “fly alone”.. Geez.. what a way to misinterpret plain rules.

You are the reason why “families with children” get a bad name. I have traveled with kids (nephews/nieces, a toddler brother 8 years younger) several times and we planned ahead and did the trip very well without causing DISRUPTION to others!

The real problem here is that you didn’t pay the fee to be able to pick your seats. That meant that you got whatever was left over with no guarantee that they would be together.

You are expecting to get for free what others pay for, it’s no wonder you got a hostile response.

So much of this essay is just mind-boggling. The writer says she got on her connecting flight and “discovered” that she had four center seats. Well of course if she does nothing and then finds right before boarding that she has seats she doesn’t like she’s going to be unhappy. Why not deal with this weeks or months in advance?

Most people carefully select their flights and seats well in advance. One of the big factors that people have when selecting flights is seat selection. Obviously someone who has gone to a great deal of time and effort selecting just the right seat is not going to want to go sit in a middle seat so some mother who refused to plan ahead can steal their seat.

Sit where you are assigned. If you don’t like the assignment, don’t make the reservation.

Additionally, yes the airlines give assigned seats, give better seats to paying customers, etc., but the author here is highlighting another two aspects, one of which is very frightening: she could be arrested and thrown off the plane for her children crying AND for keeping her children from crying. The second point is that the cold stewardess could have just as easily been kind and good natured about the whole thing. A smile and a kind word go a long way in easing anyone’s fears.

Everything you said and more. The excuse that it all boils down to money is a stupid excuse when it is also a matter of simple humanity. I have found that in particular, US carriers expect babies to basically act like adults. The best service I have found so far is with European carriers or with El Al, all of which expect children to act their age, understand the safety implications of separating a parent from their child, and have stewardesses (oh, excuuuuuuuuse me- flight attendants) with a shred of humanity and kindness.

When it comes to handbags, size matters. If you’re shopping around for exact replica designer handbags, you first need to recognize what style of handbag you should be looking for. For instance, you need to know if you want a handbag to travel around with, to go to work with, to go out with, or one that can adapt itself to a number of situations. If you are going to be taking your bag long distances, you will want it to have a good amount of space and a lot of compartments. If you are going out shopping or to a club, you may only have need of a few items. The rule used to be that only large women could carry large bags, and small women carry small designer handbags. This silly fashion rule is no longer in play, and a woman of any size can enjoy a handbag of any size.

Creative designers are eager to mesmerize us with out-of-this-world collections that target the upper class and also to furnish us with more pocket-friendly designs that could occupy a front row position on the wardrobe of the mass.

pause for a minute and also think about yet another nicely identified name which is that of Coach.

The really stupid thing is that the airlines can easily avoid this issue entirely, by telling you when you make your reservation that they won’t be able to seat you together.
