If the kid is 5 or less maybe depending on how long the flight is and the people sitting next to the kid in the aisle/window (are they fat? smelly?) out of sheer empathy. But even here you wouldnt have do it. Families can book earlier or pay more to sit together.

Date: March 12th, 2025 12:27 PM Author: Ass Sunstein I have traveled with kids, booked seats together, and several times gotten completely fucked by flights being canceled, rebooked, delayed to miss connections, etc, with us all ending up in separate middle seats.
But my kids were at least 7 years old, able to be self-sufficient, and just sat in their assigned seats, we didn't ask anyone to move.
Airlines could easily solve this problem by first, just not letting you book seats in a configuration where children under some age (like 8 or so) are isolated.
And if they have to rebook you due to a cancellation or delay, they should not be able to seat the young kids alone, and should have to just bump other passengers into middle seats (with compensation) if needed. |

Date: March 12th, 2025 1:38 PM Author: Slow Children Playing i agree with all of this. the person in my seat (ie me) should deal with the FA and not the mom. I should be given some sort of compensation if forced to move so that the minor can sit with the adult thorugh no fault of my own. And we all are aware that I most likely had to pay in some form for the seat that I chose.
Someone has to eat some shit here and it shouldnt be me who was inconveniently seated next to someone, in the best case scenario, who was rebooked.
I also agree with person above though that most of the resentment comes from the sense of entitlement. I'd be way more likely to move if the mom just offered me $100 even if I didn't take it.

Date: March 12th, 2025 2:10 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) ok faggot yeah there are edge cases where there were delays resulting in missed connections and the seats got jumbled up and blah blah blah blah stfu you pedantic faggot 99% in this situation the birdbrain just didn't pay for seats or ensure they were next to each other.
the hypo is a NYC to LA flight. how often is that flight a leg from a different journey? how often is this a flight where people are connecting or didn't have the opportunity to pay for seats to begin with? even if she is on this flight because her intended flight got fucked for some reason she still could have gone to the gate agent and said "um hi can you make sure i'm sitting with my kid?" which would be easy since presumably many other people would have be rescheduled to that flight too.
by the hypo that you created it is very unlikely she could have wound up in this situation without any opportunity to mitigate it thus as i said 99% chance it's the birdbrains fault. die you faggot pumo die. |
|
Date: March 12th, 2025 2:15 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad as a parent, feels unfair to blame us for this. this is 100% avoidable and easy to implement, the onus should be on the airline to ensure that minors are seated next to their parents and you shouldn't have to pay a special fee to get this service. they are always ticketed under the parent, they have their birthdates, and it would even be fine to only make this available for those under 10 or 12. but they purposely put passengers in these positions or try to shake them down for more money if they can.
fuck domestic and all low-cost airlines man. they are all fucking trash. this would never happen on an emirates flight. |
|
Date: March 12th, 2025 2:22 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) i said from the get-go that i would switch because a mom and her kid should sit together. broadly i think it's the social duty of all men to assist birdbrains doing birdbrain stuff especially when it involves an innocent child. if i saw a dumb shrew sitting in the rain staring at her tire wrench i wouldn't drive past thinking "should know how to change a tire before you drive a car retard." i'd change her tire.
most of this time it will be the parents fault. ultimately you are responsible for your kids including the dumb bullshit gc airlines make you deal with. but nothing in my OP had anything to do the airline's culpability versus the parent's.
my answer was essentially "yeah i would switch, the birdbrain probably fucked up but it's the right thing to do and sitting next to an irate shrew isn't worth the aisle seat in any case." whether or not she actually fucked up isn't anything i thought about it was just this pumo's unstated hidden agenda in this hypo. but "whose fault" it was never crossed my mind. it's certainly not the kid's fault, and a 10 year old should sit next to a parent instead of two strangers. |

Date: March 12th, 2025 2:36 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) exactly. i think people analyzing whether she is "at fault" are the autistic ones here.
like, if you were queueing up for a train, and some pregnant lady waddled on as it was leaving, would you give up your seat? it is certainly her "fault" for getting to the train late or choosing not to wait for the next one. but if you're not giving up your seat as an able bodied man you're an asshole.

here's a hypo for you: what if you noticed that the woman in the middle seat next to you was a woman and her child was seated in the other middle seat. would you *volunteer* to switch?
obviously not, as you can only see this situation through the lens of "how can i avoid an inconvenience?" instead of "should i do the right thing?" |

Date: March 12th, 2025 5:38 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) 1) dbg initiates the hostility, which invites hostile responses.
2) willingness to accept a personal sacrifice for a net social good is the essence of a polite, high-trust society. thus the fact some people cannot conceive why someone would be inclined to sacrifice for a stranger is frustrating for people that like living in one.
this hypo is a good one because the cost is high and the net gain is middling, so the CBA is debatable relative to something like stopping to pick an elderly woman who fell. but the frustration you see itt is about those who missed the point completely and thus demonstrated how antisocial they are. |

Date: March 12th, 2025 5:51 PM Author: saibaman You're not describing a social good.

|
Date: March 12th, 2025 6:03 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) explain how this is not a social good. simply saying "it's not" doesn't make it so. giving an example of something else you don't believe is a social good doesn't explain *why* you think this isn't.
you must agree that a child and mother being seated together is a social good. if someone was creating the seating from scratch, they would sit the mother and child together, so clearly *some* other passenger having the middle seat is the baseline for optimal social good here.
in either case some adult is experiencing the discomfort of the middle seat. but only in one is the kid and mother together. therefore it is always a net social good. the question presented in this hypothetical is whether you would endure the personal sacrifice to achieve it.
in your example there are other considerations, like whether the rich person would use it more effectively or the poor person waste it. that's not present here. unless you add it something like "well i'm 6'8 and obese." for the purposes of discussing the social value of this i think we have to assume both you and the mother would experience about the same physical discomfort of having the middle seat. otherwise the discussion is pointless because the answer is obvious. |
|
Date: March 12th, 2025 6:15 PM Author: saibaman I don't agree that mothers and children sitting togother is a social good, because I understand a social good to be a good that is relatively non-rivalrous and non-excludable, and mothers and children sitting together is certainly not that.
I have no idea what you mean by social good, unless you just mean aggregate utility maximizing. If you think people should swap airline seats on request in order to maximize aggregate utility, I don't see why that should be the guiding principle with respect to airline seats when it certainly isn't anywhere else. |
|
Date: March 12th, 2025 6:33 PM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) i explained why i think it's a social good and i think the social benefit of avoiding separating parents and their children is self-evident.
most of the things you're taking issue with is the "net" part. if we assume both you and mother have the same physical cost of sitting in the middle seat, then it's clearly a net social good and i explained why.
everything you're taking issue with is whether the personal sacrifice of achieving the net social good is worthwhile. and as i said from the outset that's debatable.
if an old woman fall on the street it's a net social good for you to pick her up. if a train is going to run over two people or you it's a net social good for it to run over you. but most wouldn't select a train to hit themself than two strangers. this hypo is about whether whether this particular level of personal sacrifice is something one would take to achieve the net social good.
but it's obvious that it *is* a net social good. but that doesn't mean it's clear a person should do it, anymore than it's clear you should die so two strangers should live. |

If i was feeling salty that day, I'd flag down a flight attendant and ask them to fix it.
But it's 100% an airline greed problem, and it should be on their customer service department to fix it. Why the fuck am I being inconvenienced because United needs to squeeze an extra 2% of revenue from the plane by fucking people over?
Make the flight attendant walk around and arrange a deal by giving out drinks or points or other bullshit. The airline probably charged YOU for the seat and then created a situation where you were guilted out of it.
If the kid is 10+, then i'd probably still move, but then its really the mom who is being an asshole and I'd be pissed at her. |

LAX > EWR flight I entered the 757-200 and started looking for overhead storage, I was in seat 12C. Throwing my duffel up I see the middle and aisle passengers already on board, amazing! I don't have to get up to let people in, perfect.
As soon as I sit down, late 20's early 30's something guy taps me on my arm, hey, wanna switch seats with me? My wife is sitting behind me and I'd like to have aisle access to help her with our baby.
No thanks, I really like the aisle seat.
OK, just know I'm going to need to get out a lot.
Maybe you could ask the person in the aisle seat behind me to switch with you, then you could sit next to your wife and baby?
We did, she said she has a lot of work to do and doesn't want to switch.
I shrugged my shoulders, pulled my work laptop out of my bag and started working. Context, I fly in very casual clothing but have a fairly corpo, yet fun job. I figured, two can play the "working" game and this guy can deal with it.
The rest of boarding group 2 are still getting on the plane and everyone else after, and this guy has already started flailing around, flipping 180 to kneel on his seat and talk in a baby voice to his kid and wife. Amazing. The woman in the window seat of my row and myself are nudged as he does this, she gives me a look of disgust.
Plane takes off uneventfully and approximately 1-second after the seat belt sign goes off he aggressively taps my arm with the back of his hand and motions he needs to get out. By this point I've put my tray table down and have an iPad up, watching a movie. I slide out, don't move my tray table and he slides out and goes to the bathroom, then stands in the aisle behind me talking to his wife.
I have AirPod Pro's in, noise cancellation on and I can hear him, that's how loud he is.
After trying to allow a few other passengers pass to use the bathroom he finally notifies me he wants to sit down.
No more than 5 minutes go by and he's flipped around again in his seat, on his knees and talking in baby gibberish to his kid and wife, loudly.
For the next 90 minutes he did this and got up to talk to his wife from the aisle about a dozen times. Then I fell asleep and he didn't bother me.
With about 2 hours left in the flight (thank you for the strong tailwind!), we hit some turbulence, the fasten seat belts goes on and the announcement is made, I kind of woke up and ensured my belt was on. No sooner does the announcement end then he taps me on the arm again and says
I need to switch seats, I need to get out
Up until this point, I've accommodated him, more than a dozen times. I look him in the face and say, I'm not trying to be difficult but the fasten seat belt sign just came on, the last thing I want is issues with the flight attendants.
Well, 3 other people just got up and the woman behind you is going to switch seats with me so if you could just get up.
I look over my shoulder and the woman is up, holding all of her personal belongings. I get up, she has a complete look of exhaustion and annoyance on her face, and she begrudgingly slides into a middle seat in my row while this guy takes the aisle and looks like he just came in first place at the no-hands pie eating contest at the county fair, that's how happy he is with himself.
The woman tries to arrange her personal bag, get settled and relax, the guy now in the aisle behind me starts again loudly talking to his baby in gibberish.
With all of this going on, at some point on the flight he had opened his United app and it showed he was a member, with like 1,192 lifetime miles. When I booked my aisle seat in Economy Plus, it was at check-in, 24hrs prior to the flight and chosen as a Premiere Silver member.
My takeaway is that they either paid for Economy Plus middle seats or were auto-assigned the seats as a late ticket purchase on a 90% full flight. Either way, their poor planning doesn't constitute an emergency on my part, nor a relocation / downgrade a seat.
I was dumbfounded that this guy and his wife essentially bullied a woman to switch from an isle to a middle seat half way through a flight, that's how awful her experience was.
In hindsight, when he originally asked me to switch to the middle I should have told him that I paid $200 to upgrade from E to EP and chose an aisle seat, if he wanted to Venmo me I'd move no problem. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 2:54 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad 1. Airlines created this mess. We didn't use to have Economy and Economy plus and different prices for middle vs. other seats.
2. The poaster and the girl behind him are giant faggots. This is what happens when people don't have families until late in life or ever. In every civilized society those with kids get a little understanding and leeway, not from corporations but from ordinary citizens. Just fucking move, it's really not that hard or that much of a sacrifice. I'm glad these guys had their flights ruined, I wouldn't have done that but more power to the dad. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 2:59 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. 1. So you acknowledge that these families are trying to be cheap and have someone else pay for what they want, right?
2. No, they're not. They paid for and selected a seat and get to use it. You know what would really be super convenient? If 2 people in First Class just went back to sit in shitty economy seats. Do you expect that too or nah?
Reserve the seats you want and live with that choice. No one owes you shit other than the seat you paid for. If you're too cheap then don't fucking fly or fly frontier or some whatever. Don't expect others to make up the difference for you. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 3:04 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad 1. No, not necessarily trying to be cheap. Many times seats are simply not available next to your family. The airlines should have sensible policies that require minors traveling under an adult ticket to be seated next to the adult. No exceptions. Others should be bumped and/or compensated for the inconvenience.
My point was back when economy was just economy there were fewer impediments to just doing another person a favor.
2. No, First and Business are separate. Not really the issue here, stay on topic. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 3:45 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. 1. Or you tell the family "sorry, no available seats. Book the flight after." If I'm travelling with a big family with wife, 5 kids, parents, my siblings - how many people need to be bumped because I decided I want that flight? Answer: 0. No reason my problem should become their problem. And yes, I have a child. Anyone who is a parent knows that you require much more planning than you did before you had a kid. That's just life and that is our problem as parents.
2. So is economy and economy premium. So is a selected seat vs. an unselected seat. For each instance you pay extra for a better flying experience. |
|
Date: March 17th, 2025 6:44 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad 1. Not always possible or practical to get a different flight. Often nonstops only travel on specific days during the week.
> If I'm travelling with a big family with wife, 5 kids, parents, my siblings - how many people need to be bumped because I decided I want that flight?
Just enough for the parents of the children and the kids that are minors.
Why are you such a bootlicker? Airlines can easily remedy this but they choose not to to collect more $$$ from idiots like you and to keep us quarreling so we can pony up for "better service"
2. Economy and economy premium are the same class, and they were historically one class. The price differential between E and EP is miniscule compared to E and B/FC. By the way I'm pretty sure the airlines would bend backwards to accommodate families in B/FC without paying anything extra.

2. One costs more than the other and the amount of the cost depends on a given flight. Sometimes the difference is substantial. Sometimes not so much. Yes, as someone who almost always flies BC/FC I will agree that they work harder to make us happy. We pay more so that's expected. If you want better service then you should pay more too. The fact that you think acknowledging this makes me "a bootlicker" suggests that you should grow the fuck up and either stuff everyone in a minivan for a vacation to a van down by the river or accept the realities of modern air travel. |

Date: March 17th, 2025 7:06 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. I generally hate flying and especially hate flying in coach. Therefore, if I end up stuck in coach I'm getting a window or aisle and the chances of me trading that for middle for pretty much any reason is zero. It isn't a minor inconvenience for me, I just won't accept a middle seat.
Note that I don't fly for fun. I fly only when I have basically no other choice. |

Date: March 18th, 2025 8:31 AM Author: Cumbutt (gunneratttt) yes, it's far worse. i shouldn't have used you as an example. openly being an asshole shows integrity and confidence. i'd rather have that than some mealy-mouthed faggot who makes perfunctory excuses and is passive-aggressive about it. at least with openly aggressive people you know where they stand.

I would have thought my approach is worse simply because their approach at least tries to not be hurtful or whatever. I just give it straight and shrug when people are outraged.
