Otherwise, they too would get priority treatment like Glaswejen by being able to select their seats in advance of other passengers.
IIRC, this thread was about someone thinking it was a scam to have to pay to sit next to his 'loved ones'.
CHECK IN SAID THEY ARE WAITING/HOPING PASSENGERS MIGHT PAY SO SEATS WERE AVAILABLE NOT ALREADY PAID FOR!!!
I will say it again NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL PAY and i have been flying a long time also i am aware of schedule airlines charging to pick seats on long haul i have travelled with my son few times and wife once and we were not separated once.
In fact coming back from turkey few years back my son a teenager then quite tall the check in looked at him and smiled when we boarded the plain we sat on exit seats:D

Makes swapping seats to cater for an emotionally distressed child or adult seem rather a small price to pay, no?
Very easily.
They cancel your boarding passes, call you to the desk and give you the new ones.
If you don't appear at the desk when called, you'll be pulled aside at the gate check before boarding and given the new boarding passes.

Yes - its very easy to justify. People shop based on price. Its a competitive market so instead of offering an all inclusive service at a higher price you can pick and chose what you want. Why should someone who doesnt want a meal, doesnt mind where they sit and doesnt want to bring extra hand luggage on board pay as much as someone who does?
If you dont like it, dont pay it. Simples.
And no i'm not a mug - i look at the total holiday cost and decide if its worth paying. I dont get "outraged" because i'm expecting everything for free.
WOW!
Have you ever considered anger management counseling?
Because I think you should. :whistle:
Absolutely right - I was happy to have the opportunity to pick the seats of my choice for my trip, so I could choose who was/wasn't sitting next to me** and where we're going to sit **.
I'm a big unit and an extra £60 for huge legroom on a longhaul flight for me is money very well spent (and much better value than coughing up for PE).
Imagine if cinemas, theatres, restaurants sports stadiums did the same. Pay extra or we won't sit you with your partner/family :rotfl:
But I don't think he/she need worry on TUI.
