    airlines would be required to seat parents and kids 13 and younger together free of charge when adjacent seating is available at booking.

    They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

      What happens when the only way to seat a family together is to break up another family. What if you need to separate a couple who is engaged and traveling together?

        we call those people adults and understand that they have less requirements than children.

          Fuck that noise. Plan ahead. I’ll repeat what someone else said. Parents shitty planning doesn’t become my problem. I pick the seat I want.

            Your sacred planning (as well as your convenience) isn’t worth more than their right to take care of their children. Sorry, you loose.

              LOL what a load of entitled BS.

              Again, taking care of your children means taking care of your children. Your failure to be a good parent is not the responsibility of the seat I paid to sit in.

              Ridiculous. Quit projecting your own shitty parenting on other responsible adults.

              You lose, by the way, not “loose”. Maybe you should take some of those grade school English classes with your kids.

      Why? Can people not sit apart for a few hours? I agree with no charging but moving because you didn’t book in advance with enough time to sit together shouldn’t result in others being inconvenienced.

          This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:

          Which is maybe why there’s a big disconnect between you and all the comments you’re replying to
