One of the fundamentals of any commercial contract is that you do not expect the one side to deliberately do something which is clearly to the disadvantage of the other party to the contract.
Once you lose sight of this principle all business becomes more difficult.
This is not a scam,airlines are a business and as such are allowed to run their business anyway they want as long as it is legal,charging people to sit where they want is a choice,just like hotels charging single supplements or charging some children as adults during room occupancy ratios,you have the option, pay or take whats givenITS NOT EASY TO GET EVERYTHING WRONG ,I HAVE TO WORK HARD TO DO IT!0 -

Oh I don't know. I'd prefer not to be seated next to parent when we travel together - I like my peace and quiet. Now paying for an aisle seat, on the other hand, I'd be more willing to stump up for.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

However in reality it is just another example of the incompetence of modern regulators - one day they will have to pass a bill to remove all the laxity that has been allowed into consumer contracts in recent years.
At the moment you get nonsense like PPI where the regulators allow a procedure for years and then eventually realise that they have made an expensive mistake0 -
I think people are happy to gamble not sitting together by not paying............its the feeling separating people on purpose they object to if they don't pay!!0

When you buy a house you do not expect the windows to be six feet up simply because it may be legal.0 -

What nonsense. You're paying to get from A-B.
A better example would be purchasing a train ticket where you're not even guarenteed a seat.0 -
